中国首款！自主研发，打破国外垄断

Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the approval and significance of the uCT Ultima, China's first photon-counting spectral CT developed by United Imaging Healthcare, marking a major advancement in medical imaging technology [5][6]. Group 1: Product Development - The uCT Ultima has received approval from the National Medical Products Administration, representing a significant milestone in the commercialization of photon-counting spectral CT technology in China [5]. - This technology is considered a "crown jewel" in medical devices and is referred to as the "third technological revolution" in CT imaging [5]. Group 2: Technological Advantages - The uCT Ultima features a semiconductor detector that provides higher spatial resolution imaging, direct multi-energy spectrum imaging, and lower radiation dose imaging, significantly enhancing precision diagnosis [6]. - The pixel area of the detector has been reduced to one-ninth of its original size, allowing for the visualization of finer pathological structures and achieving ultra-high resolution imaging with full collimation coverage [6]. - Radiation dose reduction can reach 60% to 70%, and in certain organs, it can be reduced by 80% to 90%, making CT scans safer for patients [6]. Group 3: Market Position - United Imaging Healthcare is now the third company globally and the first in China to successfully commercialize photon-counting CT technology [6]. - The uCT Ultima has already been implemented in clinical research at Fudan University Zhongshan Hospital and Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine Ruijin Hospital [6].
