Detector-based spectral CT technology

See beyond conventional CT to detector-based spectral CT

With Philips true detector-based spectral CT, scan as you normally would for fast, low-dose conventional and spectral results. Detector-based spectral CT acquires scans within a single exposure and without special protocols, and with results on demand. There’s no need to choose between viewing anatomical structures and identifying material composition. Detector-based spectral CT images capture spectral information 100% of the time, so you can analyze spectral data in any image retrospectively for rich clinical insights. Speed confident diagnosis and minimize the need for additional scans.

Why detector-based spectral CT is different
Unlike source-based spectral options, detector-based approaches simultaneously absorb and differentiate high and low energy, available in a single polyenergetic X-ray beam, at the detector level. Spectral results are acquired within a single scan without the need for special modes.
Video explains why dual-energy and spectral-detector CT aren’t the same.
Retrospective analysis for results on demand with no trade-offs
With spectral CT, image quality, dose and workflow come together. Perform fast, low-dose spectral scans without compromising speed, power or field of view. Now you can convert deep clinical data into valuable diagnostic information using simple, routine scanning with seamless integration of spectral data into your reading environment for a fast path to diagnosis.
Video debunks the myth that workflow for spectral CT is too complicated
End-to-end workflow to enhance clinical confidence and speed time to diagnosis
Philips CT portfolio and Advanced Visualization Workspace enables clinical performance — saving time, enhancing diagnostic confidence, and ensuring optimal patient care despite the increasing demands on radiology departments. Reading was made simpler with enhanced clinical confidence. Automated and AI-enabled5,6 post-processing: automates routine tasks, allowing radiologists to focus on interpretation and clinical decision-making.
Quickly see beyond diagnostic uncertainty
Philips spectral CT offers simple workflow with spectral results 100% of the time, fast time to diagnosis and benefits for a wide range of patients, including cardiac, emergency/trauma and oncology.

Doctor looking at the clinical image of the Spectral CT system

Spectral CT helps me objectively differentiate contrast staining from hemorrhage, obviating the need for additional follow up scanning and prolonged patient observation, which can result in reduced costs and radiation exposure to patients.
