GE HealthCare (GEHC) has submitted a 510(k) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a new photon-counting CT (PCCT) system.
Photonova Spectra includes AI algorithms and is powered by the company's Deep Silicon semiconductor detector technology, which features eight bins of energy resolution, and NVIDIA's accelerated computing technology -- which allows the system to process 50 times more data than conventional CT, according to the firm.
The system is designed for ultra-high definition imaging and offers a "one scan" approach "to reduce exam-specific protocols and enable automated reconstruction of ultra-high-resolution spectral images on demand," GEHC said.
