NAEOTOM Alpha® is the world’s first photon-counting CT. Based on the revolutionary direct signal conversion of its QuantaMax detector, NAEOTOM Alpha offers high-resolution images at minimal dose, spectral information in every scan, and improved contrast at lower noise. Photon-counting CT will advance medical diagnostics towards precise, non-invasive diagnosis in cardiology, pulmonology, oncology, and emergency medicine.
These solutions, powered by artificial intelligence are beneficial for countries like India where exists a need to fill the gap between demand for advanced devices and the availability of trained professionals managing the operations.
