With reference to "auntminnie.com", the FDA - the responsible authority in the USA - has approved the new photon counting CT from Siemens. With this CT technology, every single X-ray particle (X-ray photon) is measured after it has penetrated the patient's body; With conventional CT technology, the entire energy of many X-ray particles is absorbed in one measurement. According to the FDA, the main advantages of this technology are more detailed images at a lower dose, made possible by the higher signal-to-noise ratio.
