See the difference spectral-detector CT can make

With Philips true detector-based spectral CT, scan as you normally would for fast, low-dose conventional and spectral data. Detector-based spectral CT acquires scans within a single exposure and without special scan modes, and with results on-demand. No longer do you have to choose between viewing anatomical structures and identifying material composition.

One case, two ways

To illustrate the power of spectral-detector CT, we present two hypothetical patients with identical health profiles, both complaining of abdominal pain. Their doctors schedule CT scans to learn more. One patient undergoes a conventional CT scan, while the other has a spectral-detector CT scan. The process is the same for both patients, and the workflow is nearly identical for the hospital staff.

Each CT scan produces a conventional CT image that shows anatomical structures in the abdomen.

But what if one view isn't enough?

In this hypothetical example, the radiologists need more information about a visible mass in the pancreas in order make a confident diagnosis.

Conventional CT image

With a traditional CT, if the image is inconclusive, the patient may be asked to return for an additional scan.

Spectral-detector CT image

Unlike traditional CT images, spectral-detector CT images capture spectral information 100% of the time —without special planning or set-up. That means you can analyze the spectral data in any image retrospectively, using a variety of spectral viewing tools. You can, for example, adjust the monoenergetic level or get Zeffective maps.

Spectral detector
Spectral detector

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.
Retrospective analysis
Retrospective analysis

Full spectral information can be generated in addition to the true conventional images.The clinician only needs to select the generation of spectral information in addition to the conventional data. A retrospective reconstruction of the spectral information is also possible in case spectral data were not requested in the original reconstruction. Spectral is always on and always available.
Traditional workflow
Traditional workflow

Spectral-detector CT requires no special planning or set-up. It uses the same iPatient workflow as traditional Philips CT systems, meaning quick and easy integration for hospitals.

IMR not only improves conventional image quality, it also achieves 60 – 80% dose reduction.*

* In clinical practice, the use of IMR may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location, and clinical practice. A consultation with a radiologist and a physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task. Lower image noise, improved spatial resolution, improved low-contrast detectability, and/or dose reduction, were tested using reference body protocols. All metrics were tested on phantoms. Dose reduction assessments were performed using 0.8 mm slices, and tested on the MITA CT IQ Phantom (CCT183, The Phantom Laboratory), using human observers. Data on file.

Spectral-detector CT has been found to reduce the need for follow-up scanning in patients with sub-optimal exams and incidental findings. It also increases the diagnostic confidence of radiologists.

How it works

Spectral-detector simultaneously absorbs and differentiates high and low energy from a single polyenergetic X-ray beam. Spectral results are acquired within a single scan without the need for special modes.

Spectral Results Anytime, Anywhere. Single DICOM entity contains sufficient information for retrospective analysis.

Detector-based spectral CT simultaneously absorbs and differentiates high and low energy, in a single polyenergetic X-ray beam at the detector level.
