NAEOTOM Alpha.PeakThe pioneer

NAEOTOM Alpha.Peak is the next generation of NAEOTOM Alpha, the pioneering photon-counting CT system, that can generate insights that are not available on any other system.

Spectral results for every exam
Twice the spatial resolution of conventional CT
Documented clinical impact on patient pathways since 2021³

NAEOTOM Alpha.Peak is the next generation of the world's first photon-counting CT scanner, with twice the resolution of conventional CT.

Benefits

NAEOTOM Alpha.Peak continues to push the boundaries of medical imaging with support for conclusive diagnosis based on sharp depiction of anatomy. Relevant CT information is provided in a single scan, helping clinicians to improve patient pathways. Embedded AI-powered productivity tools can speed up scanning workflows and optimize reading workflows.

Evidence

Unstoppable in clinical practice

“I like to say that photon-counting CT is not a CT scanner, it is a different imaging modality and we should treat it like that. In terms of capability it's not just a better version of CT: it does so many other things that are not possible with conventional CT technology.”¹
