First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new silicon photon counting CT scanner in 64 adults who already needed a CT scan. The goal was to see if the new scanner works well in a real hospital setting and produces good quality images. Participants had an extra scan using the new device, and researchers compared the images to standard scans and tracked any safety issues.
