Samsung India has introduced a portfolio of mobile computed tomography (CT) scanners for hospitals and healthcare providers. The products, developed by NeuroLogica, a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, include four mobile CT systems designed to expand imaging access and enable scans directly at the patient’s bedside.
The company said the launch marks the first time this portfolio is being made available in India. It includes the CereTom Elite, OmniTom Elite, OmniTom Elite PCD and BodyTom 32/64. The systems are intended for use in critical care units, operating rooms, emergency departments and other hospital settings where moving patients for imaging may pose risks or delays.
The CereTom Elite is an 8-slice scanner with a 32-centimetre patient opening and a 25-centimetre field of view. It operates with a two-hour battery capacity.
The OmniTom Elite achieves 0.125mm by 80 slice reconstruction in ultra-high resolution mode, with a 40-centimetre patient opening and a 30-centimetre field of view. It has a 1.5-hour battery capacity. Samsung stated that the system is used in neurosurgical workflows and allows for immediate post-operative scans in the operating theatre.
The OmniTom Elite PCD introduces photon counting detector technology, which is designed to deliver higher image quality, enhanced differentiation and improved artefact reduction.
The BodyTom 32/64 is a 32/64-slice scanner with an 85-centimetre patient opening and a 60-centimetre field of view. It has a lithium polymer battery that provides up to 12 hours of standby capacity.
According to Samsung, the mobile CT systems can be deployed in neuro intensive care units, operating theatres, oncology departments, emergency medicine and paediatric care units. Their mobility is intended to reduce the need to transfer patients, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.
The company also highlighted potential applications across clinical specialties. These include intraoperative imaging for neurosurgery, rapid trauma and stroke assessments in emergency medicine, image-guided biopsies and ablations in interventional radiology, support for brachytherapy and tumour procedures in oncology, and child-focused imaging in paediatric care.
All four systems in the portfolio include compatibility with hospital Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) platforms. They also incorporate AI-assisted imaging functions.
Samsung stated that these features are designed to support faster diagnostic processes and hospital digitalisation strategies.
“We believe this portfolio will strengthen India’s healthcare infrastructure, support clinical excellence across specialties, and play a crucial role in improving patient outcomes at scale,” said Atantra Das Gupta, Head of Health and Medical Equipment Business at Samsung India.
Samsung Electronics, headquartered in Suwon, South Korea, operates multiple business divisions, including consumer electronics and medical devices. Its subsidiary NeuroLogica, based in Massachusetts, United States, develops and manufactures mobile CT systems. The portfolio introduced in India has previously been deployed in other international markets.
By bringing these products to India, Samsung is expanding its footprint in the country’s healthcare equipment sector. The company said the launch reflects growing demand for flexible imaging solutions that can integrate into different clinical environments without major infrastructural changes.
The introduction of mobile CT scanners comes as Indian hospitals continue to invest in diagnostic imaging technologies. According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, diagnostic equipment is considered a core part of infrastructure development under India’s National Health Mission. Expansion of tertiary care and critical care services has created demand for imaging tools that can be deployed across multiple departments.
Samsung’s launch adds to the availability of imaging systems in India, where domestic and international manufacturers compete in areas including CT, MRI, ultrasound and digital radiography.
