Compelling advancements in MSK CT
Conventional CT imaging has limited ability to differentiate between soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments, compared to other modalities like MRI. Detecting subtle soft tissue abnormalities or early-stage pathologies can be challenging. And metal implant artifacts that distort the surrounding anatomy make it difficult to accurately assess the area. Additionally, a choice between using comb-filter-based UHR imaging or dual energy capabilities had to be made. Many of these challenges have been overcome with photon-counting CT.
NAEOTOM Alpha with Quantum Technology® achieves twice the spatial resolution1 that delivers enhanced image quality for musculoskeletal CT imaging. Its high image quality, reduced radiation dose, and inherently available spectral information provide radiologists with valuable information that help them in their clinical decisions.
