What is photon-counting CT?
At the heart of NAEOTOM Alpha® is a radically new photon-counting detector. The QuantaMax detector directly converts X-rays into an electrical signal, which is then used to create an image. The energy of each X-ray is measured, so spectral information is available for every scan, and the images are contrast-rich with high spatial resolution at the same dose. Combining the high spatial resolution of the QuantaMax photon-counting detector with our Dual Source temporal resolution enables the visualization of fine details for increased diagnostic confidence.
