Quantum Flux Photon Counting Computed Tomography (PCCT) achieves complete vertical integration of essential technology components.

The VITA Genesis, a groundbreaking Photon Counting CT (PCCT) scanner, has been launched by VITA, marking a significant milestone in the field of medical imaging. This fully proprietary platform showcases advanced photon counting detection, enhancing image quality while reducing radiation dose compared to conventional CT scanners.

The VITA Genesis is the first to achieve full vertical integration in the PCCT field, a technology that provides a comprehensive solution for PCCT scanner development. This vertical integration technology encompasses ultra-high purity metals purification and compounding, single crystal growth and processing, component design and development, CT system integration, and imaging algorithm development.

At the heart of the VITA Genesis lies a detector solution based on Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT), a material that is emerging as a breakthrough for next-generation medical imaging technology due to its outstanding detection capabilities. CZT, along with Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) and Deep Silicon, are the primary materials utilized in PCCT detectors.

In PCCT scanners, X-ray photons excite electrons, creating electron-hole pairs proportional to photon energy. Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) in PCCT scanners categorize these electrical pulses by energy bins, enabling precise photon counting and energy resolution. Charge carriers from the electron-hole pairs are separated by an electric field to generate electrical pulses directly in PCCT scanners, eliminating the need to convert X-ray photons into visible light and then into electrical signals, as is the case with traditional CT scanners.

The use of PCCT scanners significantly enhances the diagnostic value of medical imaging, providing crucial technical support for multi-energy spectral imaging. The launch of the VITA Genesis marks the entry of global medical imaging technology into the "Quantum Flux" sensing era, pioneering the mastery of PCCT's full vertical integration technology.

Moreover, the VITA Genesis does not just adopt a CZT detector but also focuses on mastering PCCT's full vertical integration technology. This vertical integration technology establishes a global paradigm in the field of PCCT, providing a significant boost to the advancement of PCCT technology.

The 31st China International Medical Equipment Exhibition and Scientific Conference (China-Hospeq 2025) held in Beijing from August 15-17, 2025, served as a platform for VITA to showcase the VITA Genesis, further solidifying its position as a leader in the field of medical imaging technology.
