Good news!
"... But there are still limitations to what conventional CT can achieve in the clinic. For starters, it’s not always possible to image all patients: medical implants, for example, can create image artefacts that inhibit diagnostic accuracy. There are also shortfalls with regard to image reproducibility and standardization, both essential for ongoing evaluation of disease progress. Finally, there’s a growing need for functional data alongside the standard anatomical CT images. ...
The culmination of more than 15 years of research, Naeotom Alpha is the world’s first photon-counting CT scanner. Photon-counting technology enables dramatic improvements in diagnostic imaging, including increased resolution and a reduction in radiation dose by up to 45% over conventional CT detectors. ...
“With photon-counting technology, we move from a two-step conversion process to a single one-step conversion of X-ray photons into an electrical current that generates the medical image,” ... that removing a conversion step increases dose efficiency. “The large difference is that with this new technology, we are able to assess each and any single photon separately, and also assess the energy level of each and any photon.” ..."
