To present a novel use of a portable computed tomography (CT) for evaluation of
COVID-19 patients presenting to an urgent care center (UCC). Infection control is
imperative for hospitals treating patients with COVID-19, even more so in cancer
centers, where the majority of the patient population is susceptible to adverse
outcomes from the infection. Over the past several weeks, our department has
worked to repurpose a portable CT scanner from our surgical colleagues that
operates with fixed-parameters to perform non-contrast, helical, thin-slice chest
imaging to address the known pulmonary complications of COVID-19. Despite the
technical limitations of the portable CT unit that was repurposed for the UCC,
diagnostic-quality images in an acute care setting were successfully obtained.
Repurposing of a portable CT scanner for use in COVID-19 patients offers a
feasible option to obtain diagnostic quality images while minimizing the risk of
exposing other patients and hospital staff to an infected patient.
