Benefits of Photon Counting Detectors on Image Quality

  • Higher Spatial Resolution
  • Reduced Image Noise
  • Improved Contrast
  • Better Dose Efficiency
  • Energy Discrimination (Spectral Imaging)
  • Reduced Beam Hardening and Artifacts


FORENSIC APPLICATIONS:

VICTIM IDENTIFICATION

  • Skeletal Case Support
  • Prothesis

SCREENING

  • Medical device
  • Natural pathologies
  • Hazardous objects

CAUSE OF DEATH INVESTIGATIONS

  • Ballistics injuries
  • Poly-trauma i.e., MVA, PVA, Child abuse
  • SUDI (Sudden unexpected death of an infant)
  • Burns
  • Decomposed bodies


TRAUMA APPLICATIONS:

  • VP Shunts – Allows visualisation of VP Shunt pathway
  • Urinary Stones – Stone detection with reduced radiation
  • Gunshot – Rapidly locate bullet projectiles without Interrupting Resus
  • Poly-Trauma – Rapid screening in multiple anatomical regions simultaneously
  • Skeletal Survey – Proven ability with fast low dose radiation screening – for skeletal lesions, cancer and myeloma
  • Foreign Body – Precision Imaging in locating Foreign objects in patients
