Technology

Advanced photon counting CT technology

MARS Bioimaging’s advanced photon counting CT technology delivers colour 3D imaging, material identification and quantification¹, at low dose, in a compact form.

1. Material differentiation is for biomolecular research applications only at present.

Problems we solve

You can’t solve what you can’t see

Our spectral imaging technology allows for spatial resolution of 0.9mm isotropic voxels in clinical and research applications, enabling the visualisation of subtle fractures and contrast media.

Microlab

Biomolecular imaging for advanced scientific imaging

From innovation to application, our Microlab solution helps researchers understand the efficacy of novel treatments and biomaterials.

Core capabilities

Spectral photon-counting CT

Our PCCT technology uses energy resolved detectors to measure the energy change of individual photons. This allows for the identification and quantification of different materials using up to 5 energy bins. (Spectrasight Extremity PCCT makes no material differentiation claim as this time). Bone, tissue, metal implants and biochemical markers are brought into sharp, vivid focus in both 2D and colourised 3D imagery.

Ultra-high resolution at low dose

0.09mm millimetre detail at low radiation doses with native metal artifact handling.

Simple and safe to use

Internally shielded, compact scanners designed for use in pre-clinical research labs or hospital and community health settings.

A powerful research tool

Identify and quantify up to five materials in a single scan and customise protocols to suit your application.

History

World-class tech for real world applications

Built from a passion to bring ultra-high resolution (UHR) spectral imaging out of foundational science and into the hands of everyday clinicians and researchers. MARS Bioimaging has made ground-breaking CERN technology inside Medipix3RX photon-counting detectors available for advanced medical imaging in pre-clinical research and clinical applications.

Use of Medipix3RX is licensed to MARS Bioimaging for use in medical imaging. CERN does not endorse products or companies.
