Photon-counting computed tomography (CT) is a computed tomography method currently under research and development. A photon-counting CT system employs a photon-counting detector (PCD) that registers the interactions of individual photons. By maintaining track of the deposited energy in every interaction, the detector pixels of a PCD every report an approximate energy spectrum, creating it a spectral or energy-resolved CT technique. The photon-counting CT is a very weak optical pulse detection device based on the direct detection quantum limit theory. This technology has the capability to significantly increase scientific performance for cardiology, oncology, neurology, and plenty of various clinical CT applications. Photon-counting CT has the promise to further expand the scientific talents of traditional CT, which incorporates the visualization of minute details of organ structures, more accurate material density size and improved tissue characterization.
The rising demand for early detection of chronic diseases across Asia Pacific is the major factor driving the photon-counting CT market. Changing manner habits such as tobacco consumption, smoking along with increasing pollution levels can any increase the prevalence of cancer. Photon-counting CT scanner is used for effective diagnosis of the diseases. Furthermore, the growing demand for premium healthcare infrastructure and important enhancements in imaging technologies are likely to drive the growth of the photon-counting CT market.
The exclusive COVID-19 impact analysis report by Axiom MRC provides a 360 degree analysis of micro and macro-economic factors on the photon counting CT market. In addition, complete analysis of changes on the photon counting CT market expenditure, economic and international policies on supply and demand side. The report also studies the impact of pandemic on Asia Pacific economies, international trade, business investments, GDP and marketing strategies of key players present in the market.
Asia Pacific photon counting CT market includes different market segment like product type, application and end user and country.
By product type photon counting CT market is segmented into single channel counting system and multichannel counting system. Single channel counting system is expected to grow in the forecast period. Due to its increasing use in imaging technique in the region which has transformed patient care. Spectral photon counting CT is a new imaging modality based on the usual CT thought with the key difference of energy resolution detector technology. The additional spectral information can be used for material separation and can deliver additional, new contrast with clinically relevant new information.
The photon counting CT market finds its major application in cardiology oncology, neurology and others. The cardiology is expected to grow due to increasing demand for early diagnosis of cardiac disorders and the rising geriatric population and increasing healthcare expenditure is propelling the growth of cardiology segment in the region. Also the neurology segment is expected to grow in the forecasted period as this technology has the potential to be a substantial step forward for CT imaging to establish a new standard of care and eventually improve clinical outcomes for millions of patients in the region.
The photon counting CT market has different end user like Hospitals, Specialty Clinics, Imaging and Research Centers. The hospitals segment is expected to grow in the forecast period due to the increase in prevalence of cancer patients due to sedentary lifestyle and the urge of early diagnosis of cardiac disorders and increasing cases of stroke are leading to the growth of hospitals segment in the region. Also the specialty clinics are likely to grow in the forecast period. CT technology is that it allows better spatial decision and contrast. This can assist to image small blood vessels, vascular pathologies, and to see malignant modifications at an in advance level while treatment may be more effective.
Asia Pacific photon counting CT market is studied for the following countries like China, India, Japan, Australia and South Korea. The demand for photon counting CT market in region is increasing due to the rising demand for early diagnosis of cardiac disorders; increasing geriatric population and healthcare expenditure. China is expected to lead and gain major market share in the photon counting CT market due to increasing geriatric population and sedentary lifestyle are key factors leading to the growth of photon counting CT market in the Asia Pacific region.
The key players in Photon Counting CT Market are Picoquant, Becker & Hickl Gmbh, Hidex Oy, Id, Quantique (Idq), Photek, Thorlabs Inc., Ge Healthcare among others.
November 2020: GE Healthcare (NYSE:GE) said today that it has acquired Prismatic Sensors, a Swedish startup with deep silicon detector technology for photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT). hoton-counting CT technology, according to GE Healthcare, could expand the clinical capabilities of traditional CT — providing diagnostic benefits in clinical areas including oncology, cardiology and neurology. PCCT can enable the visualization of minute organ structure details, improved tissue characterization and more accurate material density measurement (or quantification). Plus, the radiation dose is lower.
September 2020: PicoQuant’s rapidFLIM HiRes combines ultra-fast FLIM imaging with outstanding 10 ps time resolution. Users can now visualize dynamic processes in cells or tissues with unprecedented acquisition speed and time resolution. Imaging dynamic processes in tissues or cells require methods that are fast, reliable, and quantitative. Scientists and engineers at PicoQuant have developed rapidFLIM HiRes which enables imaging samples at up to 15 frames per second with a time resolution of 10 ps using Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM).
