Spectrum Dynamics Medical has integrated cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detectors from Kromek Group in its digital SPECT/CT products called the VERITON-CT 400 series.
CZT is a room-temperature semiconductor, which directly transforms x-ray or gamma photons into electrons and holes.
It is said to revolutionise the detector technology used in medical imaging and enables the reduction of scan times and decrease of radiation dose to the patient.
Kromek Group plc designs, develops and produces x-ray and gamma-ray imaging and radiation detection products for the medical, CBRNe security, Homeland Security and civil nuclear radiation detection markets.
