Department of Radiotherapy ❯ Our Equipment ❯ Siemens NAEOTOM Alpha Photon-counting CT Simulator

As the world’s first photon-counting CT simulator, the System represents a significant advancement in medical imaging, offering unprecedented spatial resolution and spectral sensitivity for radiotherapy planning. By utilizing direct signal conversion technology that counts individual X-ray photons, it eliminates electronic noise and significantly reduces artifacts caused by metal implants or bone, providing superior soft-tissue contrast and precise tumour delineation.

This enhanced visualisation capability allows clinical oncologists to contour target volumes with exceptional accuracy, thereby optimising dose delivery to malignant tissues while sparing adjacent organs at risk, ultimately facilitating more effective and personalised radiation therapy regimens.
