China has witnessed a groundbreaking advancement in its high-end medical imaging sector with the official market launch approval of the country's first photon-counting energy spectrum CT, the uCT Ultima. Currently, this innovative equipment is being rigorously tested in clinical settings at Zhongshan Hospital and Ruijin Hospital. Parallel to this, Neusoft Medical's pioneering NeuViz P10 photon-counting CT has also secured approval, cementing its position as the world's first 8cm wide-body photon-counting CT. Leveraging a novel semiconductor detector technology, photon-counting CT systems individually count X-ray photons and capture their energy information. This revolutionary approach provides superior resolution, reduced radiation dose, and enhanced diagnostic capabilities, earning it the distinction of being the third significant revolution in CT technology.
