Mobile CT Services for Rural, Regional, and Remote Areas: Current Practice and Future Integration with Telehealth and Regulatory-Authorised AI
Computed tomography (CT) plays an essential role in clinical workflow to improve patient outcomes. However, access to CT imaging and specialist interpretation remains limited, particularly in rural, regional, remote (RRR), and other resource-limited settings. Recent advances in mobile CT, telehealth, and artificial intelligence (AI) provide opportunities to extend advanced imaging services to populations in RRR settings. This review examines: 1) mobile CT systems deployed in trucks, trailers, ambulances, and other mobile platforms; 2) telehealth technologies supporting CT-based healthcare; and 3) AI for CT that has received regulatory authorisation or is currently deployed in clinical pra...
