NeuroLogica completes first Canadian install

NeuroLogica has outfitted the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI) at McGill University in Montreal with its CereTom portable CT scanner.

The Danvers, Mass.-based company said its portable unit at the MNI is a multi-detector scanner allows doctors to visualize the arteries and veins in the brain and allowing them to assess blood flow.

The scanner has been in use at the MNI since April and is currently being used for patients in the ICU and in the angiography room, the company said. In the near future, the hospital said that CereTom also will begin to be used in the operating room.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.
