NAEOTOM Alpha VA50 Product Image

NAEOTOM Alpha® with Quantum Technology, the world's first photon-counting CT, is nothing less than the total reinvention of computed tomography.

Based on the revolutionary direct signal conversion of its QuantaMax detector, NAEOTOM Alpha offers high-resolution images at minimal dose, spectral information in every scan, and improved contrast at lower noise.

Benefit from a range of clinical options and breakthrough consistency never seen before – for confident clinical decision-making and the potential to scan previously excluded patients.

Experience a defining moment in computed tomography.

What is photon-counting CT?  

NAEOTOM Alpha Photon-Counting CT Detector

With photon-counting CT, we have developed a radically new technology for clinical routine. At its core is a new kind of detector that is substantially different from a standard energy-integrating detector.

These photon-counting detectors have the potential to overcome the limitations of current CT detectors, by providing CT data at high spatial resolution, without electronic noise, and with inherent spectral information.

 

See fine details without compromises

NAEOTOM Alpha redefines how high resolution and inherent spectral information can be utilized for multiple myeloma patients to detect small osteolytic bone lesions and precisely assess their status. Discover how Prof. Konstantin Nikolaou and Prof. Claudia Lengerke benefit from a new level of detail for their clinical decisions, while keeping dose to a minimum.

See fine pulmonary structures and small lesions

Explore how NAEOTOM Alpha and it’s ultra-high resolution imaging at standard dose levels help Prof. Martine Rémy-Jardin and Prof. David Launay to make informed clinical decisions.
