This fall, the department hosted key opinion leaders and delegates from GE HealthCare clinical sites nationwide.  Radiologists and physicists from Stanford, Emory, MD Anderson, Northwell, and University of Washington joined our expert faculty and GE HealthCare leaders to discuss initial implementation plans and research goals on the horizon now that photon counting CT (PCCT) has gained FDA clearance for clinical use.  

The department and GE HealthCare have been collaborating on deep silicon photon counting since 2019, with physicists, radiologists, and technologists developing and evaluating protocols and imaging. In November 2022, the department installed a prototype of the Generation 3 Silicon-Based Photon Counting Scanner and performed the first U.S. evaluation.  The department recently scanned the first patients for clinical standard of care imaging on the FDA cleared scanner this fall.
