Slide 2 Slide 3 Dan was born and raised in Kibbutz Beit Kama, in
the south of Israel. Slide 4 Dan was an individual with high
humanitarian values who always cared and acted for others in his
community. Slide 5 He joined the IDF Nahal Infantry Brigade and
served as a fighter and commander. Slide 6 Dan was very seriously
injured while safeguarding the border communities. Slide 7 He
arrived at the hospital having suffered severe head trauma and
internal organ injuries. Slide 8 Dan struggled to survive for a
week, but tragically lost his battle for life on March 16, 2010. He
was only 20 years old Slide 9 A portable CT was not available When
his condition deteriorated, brain surgery had to be performed.
Given his critical condition he couldnt be transferred to the CT
room, and the surgery was conducted in the absence of a
comprehensive understanding of his brain injuries. Slide 10
Unfortunately, we were unable to save Dan. To honor his spirit and
his memory, our last promise to Dan was to make every effort to
have a portable CT available to help save soldiers and civilians in
similar conditions. Our hope is that CT-DAN will be available
throughout the intensive care unit for those who, like him, will be
fighting for their lives. Slide 11 Why a portable CT? It isn't
possible to move children and severely injured patients to the CT
room. In such conditions, patients with head injuries cannot
undergo CT scanning and therefore may not receive optimal
neurosurgical treatment. A portable CT allows for safe bed-side
scanning, providing immediate and critical information. Slide 12
Current situation in Israel Only 1 portable CT machine is available
in Israel!!! The machine is being used on a regular basis by the
various departments in only one specific hospital. The Portable CT
weighs a ton and hence its transport between hospitals is virtually
impossible. Ideally, every regional trauma center requires such
capability. Slide 13 The cost of a portable CT unit is $ 350,000
