The connectivity of Fleetlink helps connecting people, data and technology to improve efficiency, consistency and quality of care.

Evidence

Clinical practice

“I like to say that photon-counting CT is not a CT scanner, it isa different imaging modality and we should treat it like that.In terms of capability it's not just a better version of CT: itdoes so many other things that are not possible with conventionalCT technology.”¹
