NeuroLogica Corp. has announced that its OmniTom Elite PCD has received an Innovative Technology designation from Vizient Inc., a provider-driven health care performance improvement company. NeuroLogica Corp. exhibited OmniTom Elite PCD at the Vizient Innovative Technology Exchange in Dallas.
Each year, health care experts serving on Vizient customer-led councils review select products and technologies for their potential to enhance clinical care, patient safety, health care worker safety or to improve business operations of health care organizations. Innovative Technology designations are awarded to previously contracted products to signal to health care providers the impact of these innovations on patient care and the business models of health care organizations.
NeuroLogica’s OmniTom Elite PCD is a groundbreaking innovation in medical imaging, according to a press release.
“This mobile CT scanner boasts high-resolution imaging and material decomposition capabilities, enabling health care professionals to conduct precise neuroimaging at the patient’s bedside in the ICU, or in another area designated by the facility such as the ER department. Cleared for use on adults, the reduction of artifacts can increase the ability to identify a bleed along the skull versus contrast, reducing the risk of a potential misdiagnosis, and helping to better identify pathology in the posterior fossa. Post thrombectomy, it can differentiate between blood and iodine staining without needing to wait. Where conventional CT PCD, Dual Energy, or Spectral CT imaging is in use, the NeuroLogica OmniTom PCD scanner can help to standardize imaging system-wide,” the release states.
“NeuroLogica has always been driven to innovate and expand the world of health care,” said Renaud Maloberti, head of mCT Business. “From the creation of mobile CT to implementation of the first single source, single detector photon counting CT, we are witnessing the next stage of imaging care and standardization.”
“Congratulations to NeuroLogica Corp. for achieving this peer-designated status,” said Kelly Flaharty, Vizient senior director of contract services. “Our customer-led council deemed OmniTom Elite PCD worthy of this designation for its potential to make an incremental difference in health care.”
