Moderated by the Chairman of the Vietnamese Society of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, the workshop featured Prof. MD. Francois Pontana from Lille University (France), alongside experts from Phuong Dong General Hospital and Siemens Healthineers Vietnam.
During the half-day workshop, the speakers presented and discussed a series of in-depth topics focusing on the applications of Photon Counting CT in early detection of cardiovascular and oncology diseases as well significant benefits of the NAEOTOM Alpha system in improving image quality, reducing radiation dose and enhancing patient safety.
“Indeed, photon-counting CT is redefining the role of computed tomography in cardiovascular and oncologic imaging. With its exceptional temporal and spatial resolution, we can achieve a more accurate assessment of coronary artery diseases. As a result, the number of patients referred to interventional cardiology for evaluation of atherosclerotic plaque burden will be significantly reduced.
Photon-counting CT has also opened up the possibility of assessing myocardial tissue within the same scan. From an oncology perspective, it enables a more precise evaluation of tumors, marking a new era in cancer detection and treatment.” - Prof. MD. Francois Pontana remarked.
