After a decade of effort, Chinese researchers from Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China have jointly invented an intelligent robotic mobile computed tomography (CT).

　　Different from the traditionally large and heavy CT machines, the newly invented device is only 135 cm tall and 260 kg in weight. It features low radiation and low energy consumption. It also features functions such as man-machine dialogue, voice control, route planning, target positioning, three-dimensional imaging, and intelligent diagnosis.

　　This new kind of CT machine can directly move to the ward to take CT examinations for patients and can upload the results in real time after receiving instructions. With its help, patients no longer have to take tests in the exam rooms where the traditional CT machine is located in a fixed position.

　　The new machine will significantly improve the efficiency of disease examination and treatment, reducing medical expenses and the burden on medical personnel.
