Xoran’s vision is to improve patient care by delivering leading-edge CT imaging solutions for instant diagnosis at the patients’ point of care. Xoran makes in-office CT scanners for imaging sinuses, mandible, airway and temporal bones. Xoran originated in the ENT industry and will continue to support the ENT community by providing high-quality products and services.
What is MiniCAT?
MiniCAT is a compact, upright specialty CT scanner system designed for high-resolution, bone window imaging of the sinuses, temporal bones and skull base. MiniCAT provides immediate access to images at the patient’s point-of-care resulting in a faster diagnosis and treatment.

- Patients can be scanned, receive their diagnosis and discuss treatment options in a single visit
- Additional ancillary revenue for the practice
- Increases patient retention, leading to increase in procedure volume
- Provides a much lower radiation dose option compared to traditional CT
