Computed Tomography is undergoing a significant transformation based on how radiation is detected. Photon Counting technology represents this change and promises to revolutionize the way medical images are obtained.
This new generation of equipment offers images with much greater detail, allows for lower radiation exposure in certain examinations and opens new possibilities in the evaluation of structures that were previously difficult to characterize with precision.
In an interview granted to the publication, Luís Curvo Semedo, radiologist at Joaquim Chaves Saúde, explains how this evolution can change clinical practice and what its implications are for healthcare professionals.
The specialist also notes that despite the advantages, there are limitations to consider and cautions that must accompany the use of this new technology, warning about a balanced approach to its implementation.
