Five Minutes in Healthcare is where I discuss current events with some of the industry's most influential leaders.

Today I am joined by Matthew Dedman, the head of the CT business at Siemens Healthineers North America, for a big picture chat about the rise of photon counting CT (PCCT) and its future impact in radiology. Those of you who attended RSNA 2024 will recall that Siemens unveiled a full line up of photon-counting systems at the show.

It's a sometimes complex topic, but Matthew explains things in a way that makes it easier to understand. We talk about emerging applications for the technology, as well as the principles behind PCCT vs. conventional CT and the long road from R&D to clinical availability. When this interview is over, you will have a better understanding of why Siemens Healthineers expects every CT scanner to eventually become a PCCT scanner.


We hope you enjoy the conversation. Please tell us what you think, and let us know who you would like to see interviewed next.
