Results for tag: "Photon Counting Computed Tomography"

Photon Counting Computed Tomography (PCCT) is a type of computed tomography (CT) imaging technology that uses a photon-counting detector to acquire data. It is a relatively new technology that has been developed to improve the accuracy of CT imaging. PCCT is able to detect and measure the energy of individual photons, allowing for more accurate imaging of soft tissue and bone. This technology also reduces the amount of radiation exposure to the patient, making it a safer imaging option. PCCT is used in a variety of medical applications, including cancer diagnosis, cardiac imaging, and orthopedic imaging. It is also used in research applications, such as in the study of materials and biological samples. Companies in the PCCT market include Siemens Healthineers, Philips Healthcare, Canon Medical Systems, and GE Healthcare. Show Less Read more
