The system provides on-demand spectral and spatial imaging for every scan, and its ultra-high definition (UHD) imaging is “designed to work with wide coverage,” the company said.
“Deep Silicon brings a meaningful evolution to photon-counting CT. Silicon’s unique properties as a semiconductor enables precise photon energy measurement, helping power advanced spectral imaging capabilities,” Dr. Johan de Mey, chair of Radiology, UZ Brussel – Vrije Universiteit Brussel, said in a press release.
“For us, that may offer new opportunities to differentiate materials like iodine, calcium and fat, as well as provide image quality that holds up even in challenging patient scenarios. Additionally, with Photonova Spectra’s rapid 0.23‑second rotation speed and 80 mm detector coverage, we can achieve fast, motion‑free acquisitions across care areas, helping ensure that detail and diagnostic confidence aren’t compromised. These advancements aim to provide a more reliable picture of how a condition is evolving or whether a treatment is truly working, supporting more timely and informed decisions for every patient.”
The system can be used across specialties, including neurology, oncology, musculoskeletal imaging, thoracic imaging and cardiology. It can also store up to 50 times more data than the Revolution Apex Elite system through NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform and CUDA-optimized reconstruction.
“We are proud to deliver this new generation of photon-counting CT to the clinicians and patients around the world it was intentionally designed to serve,” Chad Rowland, executive director, Global CT, said. “At its core is our Deep Silicon detector technology, which enables Photonova Spectra to capture remarkably detailed, spectral information in every scan. That level of clarity and consistency aims to make a meaningful difference in both cutting-edge research and day‑to‑day care – from helping teams see subtle findings confidently to reducing steps across a wide range of exams. Ultimately, this innovative technology was created to advance imaging as well as support the people who rely on it.”
The system received 510(k) clearance in March 2026.
Earlier this week, GE HealthCare released three new imaging technologies as part of its Vivid cardiovascular ultrasound portfolio.
