Xoran Technologies
Last year, Xoran Technologies was notified of a grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to support the company’s research and development efforts for lung cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging.
To accomplish the aims in the grant, Xoran has established collaborative partnerships with critical care pulmonology specialists and radiologists at the University of Michigan. The company has proposed an open-bore, mobile CT to assist in identification of lung disease.

“This grant allows Xoran to commercialize our future open-bore CT products quickly,” said Misha Rakic, Xoran’s chief executive officer. “This truly mobile device helps to support the diagnosis, triaging, and monitoring of the lungs of respiratory patients both in the intensive care unit, and in future respirator pandemic situations."
In August, Xoran received FDA 510(k) clearance for TRON, an open-bore fluoroscopy CT and X-ray device for full-body, low dose point-of-care imaging.
“With this TRON system, Xoran will have an open-bore CT application that can be used for full-body, low-dose imaging,” Rakic said. "In fact, the capability of a compact, lightweight CT that can be placed in a small van has the potential in the future to assist in democratizing access to CT imaging, whether it is for emergency stroke CT or lung screening CT.”
