Acrorad CdTe crystals lay the basis for a technology leap in computed tomography. Radiation is absorbed in the CdTe single crystal which create an electrical signal. These direct converting detectors are much more dose efficient than scintillator-based detectors.
Also, their pixels are much smaller, which can significantly increase the spatial resolution. This new information yields unprecedented new information, diagnostic quality and treatment relevant decisions in many clinical fields such as cardiology, oncology, pulmonology and neurology.
