'Ralphy The Sacramento Beagle' First Patient to be Scanned by 'Charlie-SPS,' World's First Portable, Battery-Operated, Multi-Slice CT Scanner for Smaller Pets
Date:8/27/2009

llations, leaded rooms and climate controls and represents a savings of $30,000-$50,000 for starters," Zavagno says.

Charlie offers the veterinarian a compact, lightweight, portable, high-speed, battery- and 120-volt-line powered system while generating advanced multi-slice high resolution images (up to eight CT slices per revolution) in a customized 12-inch pet-focused aperture.

Charlie also provides for contrast study protocols such as CTA and CTP, which become extremely valuable in making diagnoses. And, since the Charlie-SPS is a fraction of the size and weight of a traditional fixed scanner, limited installation is required.

A veterinarian or technologist can be trained quickly to conduct a CT study on the Charlie system. A study, in fact, can be initiated with the touch of a few panels.

Interestingly, Dr. Richardson, who has his own small vineyard in the backyard of his Sacramento-area home, decided he'd try to scan some grapes and later a rose. He says the images "were truly artistic in detail and resolution." While Charlie-SPS was not designed for artistic applications, Dr. Richardson says he'd like to show his fellow doctors in his local veterinary association these results. "As I said, we are just starting to put Charlie-SPS to use at the hospital. My staff and I are taken by what this system will do and at the very high quality of the scans produced."
