Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical value of cranial CT for the patients in neurological ICU by analyzing the application of mobile CT scanner CereTom in some hospital.Methods Retrospective analysis was carried out for the patients being hospitalized and undergoing cranial CT examination in some hospital from March 2012 to August 2014.Results Totally 261 patients and 325 times of examination were involved in, and two ones failed in the examination, with the success rate of 99.23%. There were 218 patients (83.52%) had the examination completed in one time and 43 ones (16.48%) in several times. It's proved that bedside CT could be applied clinically with high successful rate. The mean time of bedside CT examination was (18.3±3.8)min, significantly less that then of common examination.Conclusion Mobile CT may decrease moving-related risk of the patient and the time, manpower consumed for examination, and thus is worth popularizing clinically.
