Detection Technology introduces revolutionary all-in-one CT detector system
Detection Technology Plc press release 28 November 2024 at 13:00 (EET)
Unveiling a comprehensive platform designed to redefine X-ray imaging in medical, security, and industrial applications.
Detection Technology, a global leader in X-ray detector solutions, introduces a game-changing all-in-one CT (computed tomography) detector system, purpose-built for X-ray system manufacturers and integrators. Designed to simplify system architecture and data transfer while delivering unprecedented performance, the solution represents a major leap forward for static and rotating CT systems across medical, security, and industrial applications.
The all-in-one CT detector system integrates key components, including detector modules, data combiner boards, data control boards, and optimized slip ring interfaces. It debuts with static CT systems, with plans to expand into rotating CT systems and advanced modalities like photon-counting CT (PCCT).
The detector system handles data at rates of tens of gigabits (Gbps) per second, enabling wider imaging coverage and reduced view times. These features enable more robust X-ray imaging systems that meet the increasing demand for high-resolution, low-dose imaging. The platform is designed to be seamlessly scalable, with data rates scaling up to hundreds, paving the way for photon-counting CT technology and next-generation imaging solutions.
“This platform brings unmatched efficiency and innovation,” said Tuomas Holma, Director of Product Management at Detection Technology. “Our all-in-one detector system minimizes risks, interfaces, and supply chain complexities while unlocking new imaging possibilities across industries.”
By combining hardware, firmware, and software in a modular and scalable platform, the detector system offers seamless integration. It reduces the need for multiple contact rings in slip ring interfaces, cutting costs and enhancing reliability. Its compatibility with the GigE Vision protocol and versatile support for slip ring interfaces ensures streamlined data communication.
Additionally, the platform supports dual-energy imaging and photon-counting CT, enabling improved spatial resolution, superior material discrimination, noise reduction, and wide imaging coverage. These benefits extend across security, medical, and industrial applications, providing a faster time-to-market for manufacturers.
The all-in-one CT detector system is designed to power a variety of high-performance X-ray applications:
- Security CT: Enhanced 3D security screening systems for baggage and cargo.
- Medical CT: Static and rotating systems with low-dose imaging.
- Industrial inspection: High-speed, high-resolution 2D and 3D imaging for demanding applications.
“Our invention paves the way for transmitting up to 100x more data within a single CT system rotation period. This milestone brings us closer to fully unlocking photon-counting applications and meeting the industry’s need for high temporal and spatial resolution,” added Tuomas Holma.
Detection Technology will highlight the key features of its revolutionary all-in-one CT detector system at RSNA 2024 in Chicago, USA. Visit Detection Technology at Booth 4133 in the South Hall, Level 3, from December 1–4.
