Innovation Summary:
A robotic arm-mounted micro-CT system enables flexible, high-resolution imaging in clinical environments. The system uses a compact X-ray source and detector mounted on a robotic manipulator to scan anatomical regions with precision. It supports dynamic positioning and patient-specific imaging protocols. The method improves accessibility and reduces equipment footprint.

Challenges / Opportunities:
Traditional CT systems are bulky and fixed, limiting their use in point-of-care settings. This invention introduces mobility and adaptability through robotic integration. It opens opportunities for bedside imaging, outpatient diagnostics, and surgical planning. The system supports integration with AI-based image analysis.
