Detection Technology debuts CT systems

Detection Technology has debuted its X-ACE HS detector line of next-generation medical CT systems.

The company's X-ACE HS line includes X-ACE 32 HS and X-ACE 64 HS detector modules and an X-ACE HS data acquisition system designed for both 32- and 64-slice rotating CT devices, according to the firm.

It features a backside-illuminated photodiode design that reduces detector noise by approximately 60% compared with the previous platform; Z-coverage of 20 mm for the 32 HS and 40 mm for the 64 HS for larger anatomy capture per rotation; and integration times down to 50 µs to enable high-speed gantry rotation and static CT imaging.

The new systems also consume less power (<1.5 watts for the 32 HS and <3 watts for the 64 HS), the company said.

Both versions of the platform are now available as stand-alone detector modules or as a complete subsystem through Detection Technology's AIDA platform, the firm added.

Additionally, Detection Technology announced the commercial availability of its AIDA all-in-one CT detector system for rotating and static CT systems.

The AIDA platform, which also supports photon-counting CT, integrates detector modules, data combiner boards, data control boards, slip ring interfaces, and a proprietary API compatible with the GigE Vision protocol, according to Detection Technology.
