Bumrungrad International Hospital is proud to be the first in Thailand to introduce Photon Counting CT, the world’s most advanced CT technology. Powered by the NAEOTOM Alpha scanner, this innovation is redefining diagnostic imaging with clearer results, earlier detection, and significantly lower radiation.
What is Photon Counting CT?
Unlike traditional CT scans that convert X-rays into light—losing some image detail in the process—Photon Counting CT counts each individual X-ray photon. The result? Ultra-sharp images with enhanced tissue contrast and less radiation exposure.
Benefits for patients include:
- Earlier and more accurate detection of disease
- Sharper images, even for small or complex areas
- Safer scans with up to 45% lower radiation dose
How It Improves Patient Care
Photon Counting CT is transforming care in key medical fields:
- Brain & Stroke: Quickly detects strokes, brain bleeds, and tiny vessel issues that standard CT might miss.
- Lungs: Provides superior clarity for spotting early signs of lung cancer or chronic lung conditions—ideal for smokers or high-risk patients.
- Heart: Reveals coronary artery problems such as soft plaques and calcium buildup, improving early heart disease prevention.
- Cancer: Enhances visibility of soft tissues for early, precise cancer diagnosis with less radiation.
Precision in Preventive Healthcare
Early diagnosis saves lives. With Photon Counting CT, doctors can now detect problems before symptoms appear—offering patients the best chance for successful treatment.
“Photon Counting CT empowers us to detect diseases earlier, treat them better, and reduce radiation exposure for our patients,” says Ms. Artirat Charukitpipat, CEO of Bumrungrad International Hospital.
