The challenge has been developing detectors that can handle the very high photon flux from high–power X–ray tubes while delivering good energy resolution and maintaining or improving spatial resolution. Now, using deep silicon detectors, GE Healthcare has identified an optimal solution for photon counting CT to accommodate the much higher count–rate demands of CT imaging.∗
