Authors' objectives:
The technology consists of a 8 slice CT scan, transportable on wheels. Its use is not to be considered as an alternative to a standards fixed CT equipment. Its potential intended use involves a small number of patients in acute critical conditions, hospitalised in an intensive care setting, or selected patients subjected to highly specialised surgery, where high image quality is not required. Literature data on diagnostic accuracy and clinical efficacy are not yet available
