Cheng Hsin General Hospital Introduces Photon-Counting CT to Address Four Major Cardiac CT Diagnostic Challenges, Advancing Smart Healthcare

Cardiac CT is an important tool for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases, but Cheng Hsin General Hospital President Jeng Wei explained that traditional cardiac CT often faces challenges when imaging patients with severe coronary artery calcification, implanted vascular stents, artificial heart valves, or arrhythmias, which can interfere with accurate diagnosis. To enhance the quality of cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment, Cheng Hsin General Hospital has introduced a Photon-Counting CT (Photon CT), which reduces both radiation exposure and contrast agent usage while providing more precise imaging.
