Learn how x-ray photon counting technology works and its application for breast imaging A number of factors, such as electronic noise, scattered radiation and information loss during analog-to-digital signal conversion can negatively affect image quality. To compensate, most FFDMs have to increase radiation dose. In contrast, photon counting technology allows the digital X-rays to be counted one by one enabling lower radiation dose while providing excellent image quality. In this webinar, Sankar Suryanarayanan, Ph.D., MBA, Marketing Director, Philips Women's Healthcare Division, with a background in Medical Physics and an Industry representative for the FDA's National Mammography Quality Assurance and Advisory Committee (NMQAAC), offers an overview of photon counting technology and its benefits for mammography. Photon counting technology creates pixel redundancies thereby mitigating faulty pixels and the possibility of obscuring microcalcifications providing physicians with the best clinical images at the lowest dose.
