| Abstract |
This article reviews a number of portable CT scanners for clinical imaging. These include the CereTom, Tomoscan, xCAT ENT, and OTOscan. The Tomoscan scanner consists of a gantry with multisection detectors and a detachable table. It can perform a full-body scanning, or the gantry can be used without the table to scan the head. The xCAT ENT is a conebeam CT scanner that is intended for intraoperative scanning of cranial bones and sinuses. The OTOscan is a multisection CT scanner intended for imaging in ear, nose, and throat settings and can be used to assess bone and soft tissue of the head. We also specifically evaluated the technical and clinical performance of the CereTom, a scanner designed specifically for neuroradiologic head imaging. The contrast performance of this scanner permitted the detection of 4-mm low-contrast lesions, and the limiting spatial resolution was 7 line pairs per centimeter. The measured volume of the CT dose index (CTDI(vol)) for a standard head CT scan was 41 mGy (120 kV/14 mAs). All clinical images were of diagnostic quality, and the average patient effective dose was 1.7 mSv. We conclude that the CereTom portable CT scanner generates satisfactory clinical images at acceptable patient doses. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 December 2023.
All research outputs
#7,234,660
of 25,081,505 outputs
Outputs from American Journal of Neuroradiology
#1,895
of 5,199 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#36,094
of 118,429 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Journal of Neuroradiology
#9
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,081,505 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,199 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 118,429 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
