NAEOTOM Alpha.PeakThe pioneer

NAEOTOM® Alpha.Peak is the next generation of

NAEOTOM Alpha, the pioneering photon-counting CT

system, that can generate insights that are not available

on any other system.

Spectral results for every exam
Twice the spatial resolution of conventional CT
Documented clinical impact on patient pathways since 2021³

^{NAEOTOM Alpha.Peak is pending 510(k) clearance and is not yet commercially available in the United States and other regions.}

NAEOTOM Alpha.Peak is the next generation of the world's first photon-counting CT scanner, with twice the resolution of conventional CT.

Benefits

NAEOTOM Alpha.Peak continues to push the boundaries of medical imaging, delivering sharp anatomical details to support conclusive diagnoses. By providing comprehensive CT information in a single scan, it helps streamline patient pathways and improve care.

NAEOTOM Alpha.Peak is the pinnacle of our CT portfolio. It is the system of choice for thought leaders aiming to explore new patient pathways and push the boundaries of medical imaging. The connectivity of Fleetlink helps connecting people, data and technology to improve efficiency, consistency and quality of care.

Evidence

Unstoppable in 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

Pulmonology

Less image noise and inherent spectral information reduce radiation exposure for vulnerable patients with lung disease, without compromising image quality.

Musculoskeletal

The high image quality and spectral information of photon-counting CT enhance bone and joint imaging, as well as the detection of soft tissue abnormalities and early-stage pathologies.
