Healthcare (link is external) At the center of an ecosystem striving for precision health. “The challenge has been developing detectors that can handle the very high photon flux from high-power x-ray tubes while delivering good energy resolution and maintaining or improving spatial resolution. Together with our customers, we’re proving that no one is ever limited to only affordable, reliable, or sustainable energy. This is very exciting.”. Sorry, there is an internal server error. GE Healthcare invests in a unique approach to cutting-edge CT technology and acquires Prismatic Sensors AB, a leader in Deep Silicon detector technology for photon counting computed tomography (PCCT). The company is focused on research and development of photon counting detectors for CT, providing improved contrast and spatial resolution at reduced radiation dose. Access the latest press releases, media contacts, and press tools. CHICAGO, November 20, 2020 – GE Healthcare today announced its acquisition of Prismatic Sensors AB, a Swedish start-up specializing in photon counting detectors, signifying the … Transforming how industry solves its toughest challenges by bringing simplicity, speed and scale to digital transformation. Dehlsen, who also formed Clipper Windpower in 2001. I expect the impact on the CT field will be large, for example, improved dose efficiency, particularly for low dose acquisitions and for applications that benefit from tissue specificity. To put the higher spatial resolution of this Deep Silicon detector in perspective, we have not seen a potential improvement of this magnitude in decades, and every other time that spatial resolution was improved significantly the utility of CT also advanced.
