Benefit Sectra IDS7’s capacity to display and view photon-counting CT images with the highest level of detail. Sectra IDS7 offer diagnostic tools to display and interact through these ground-breaking image series and the same fast overall workflow as for all other studies.
What is photon-counting CT?
Photo-counting CT was launched in 2021 by Siemens. At the heart of their modality is a radically new photon-counting detector. The new 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 photon-counting detector with a dual source temporal resolution enables the visualization of fine details for increased diagnostic confidence.
