Acquire a New Photon-Counting CT Scanner
Photon-counting CT scanners produce images with unprecedented precision, thereby improving early and granular detection of disease, particularly in cardiology and oncology. In addition, they reduce exposure to ionizing radiation, especially for children and vulnerable patients.
Our new scanner, which is expected to benefit approximately 12,000 patients annually, illustrates the innovation strategy of the American Hospital of Paris and our constant drive to promote medical excellence.
Project Aims
- Offer a more powerful and reliable solution to our prescribing radiologists, clinicians and surgeons, as well as to our radiologic technologists;
- Reduce exposure to X-rays as well as the doses of contrast agents;
- Reinforce the American Hospital of Paris’s position of leadership in medical imaging.
Acquiring this new scanner is perfectly in line with our Hospital’s innovation strategy. Photon counting is a technological revolution. The heightened image precision allows us to significantly improve diagnosis for many diseases, with the additional benefit of reducing radiation doses by 30% and contrast agents by 25%! This technology paves the way for spectral imaging, which enables better analysis of the various organ tissues. By becoming the first private medical institution in France to acquire this revolutionary device, the American Hospital of Paris is pursuing its innovation strategy, aimed at achieving maximal benefits for patients.
