Recently 510(k) cleared by the U.S. FDA, GE HealthCare’s Photonova Spectra is a new photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) system that offers multiple configurations designed to address a wide range of clinical needs. Photonova Spectra introduces Deep Silicon, a novel detector material designed to enhance spectral imaging performance. Deep Silicon enables the precise measurement of photon energy and delivers high levels of energy resolution, which are critical for advanced image reconstruction. Together with 8-bin energy resolution, the technology supports advanced material separation and characterization, helping clinicians distinguish between different materials such as iodine, calcium and fat with remarkable precision. Photonova Spectra also automatically captures both 8-bin spectral and ultra-high definition (UHD) spatial data simultaneously, without special setup or multiple protocols. This gives clinicians access to spectral information in every exam, supporting confident decision-making and treatment monitoring in complex cases across specialties. Workflow efficiency is supported by a one‑scan, universal full‑fidelity approach designed to reduce exam‑specific protocols and enable automated reconstruction of UHD spectral images on demand. The CT ONE operator environment and automated features – including auto positioning – are designed to help improve consistency across GE HealthCare systems and simplify the overall CT process.
