Spectral Computed Tomography (CT) Market Trends and Technological Improvements
Spectral computed tomography (CT) is a scanning device that is used for medical imaging for diagnosis in case of cancer, tumor development, cardiovascular impairment, aneurysm and other bone related disorders. Spectral CT has been considered as the next phase of the widely accepted computed tomography (CT) providing an effective imaging modality. The computed tomography reconstructs an object's internal structure, from a sequence of X-ray transmission images. Computed tomography functions by detecting the number of photons that hits the detector and attenuation in relation to the photons emitted by the X-ray tube that does not interact with the body. However, these detectors do not differentiate among the varied frequencies of the photons and provide monochromatic reconstructed image. These limitations of conventional CT support the development of spectral CT, leading to an increase in the growth of the overall spectral CT market. The global spectral CT market is segme...
