The Solution
Based on technology currently under development for the TSS TumoTrack™ product together with the experience gained from participation in the eBeam luggage product, a new type of EBCT referred to as Dual-Source EBCT is proposed. The new scanner has a very compact footprint, competitive in size to current compact mechanical CT scanners. By use of a sealed vacuum system, the cost and size is further reduced. A new low-cost, multi-row detector system will enable much fast study times including the potential for realtime CT Angiography.
Status
TSS has filed patent applications describing the new EBCT and is in the process of submitting NIH proposals to provide seed funding to support a more detailed design demonstration. Depending on the availability of funding, we propose to begin development of this product as a follow-on to the TumoTrack™ engineering development.
