Core Viewpoint - The launch of VITA Genesis, the first fully independently developed quantum photon counting CT system in China by XianDao Technology Group, marks the beginning of the "quantum flow" perception era in medical imaging technology [1] Group 1: Technology Advancement - The traditional energy-integrating detectors (EID) used in CT technology have been in use for over 50 years, revealing significant limitations in their physical capabilities [1] - Traditional CT has reached the boundary of "morphological imaging," while precision medicine urgently requires tools for "functional analysis" [1] - Photon counting CT significantly enhances image spatial resolution, reduces radiation dose, and allows for direct acquisition of energy images, providing more comprehensive and rich information for clinical diagnosis [1]
