Detection Technology has announced that its comprehensive CT detector system, AIDA, has entered the customer evaluation phase, signaling a significant step towards its planned commercial availability in early 2026.
This development underscores AIDA's objective to address a critical issue faced by photon-counting CT (PCCT) technologies: efficiently managing and transferring large data volumes. The strong interest from potential clients reflects the hardware-software platform's readiness for practical applications.
Overall Architecture and Data Transfer
AIDA aims to revolutionize X-ray imaging across medical, security, and industrial sectors. It is capable of supporting both static and rotating CT systems, including cutting-edge modalities like PCCT.
By merging detector modules, data combiner boards, data control boards, and slip ring interfaces into a single hardware-software solution that is compatible with the GigE Vision protocol, AIDA simplifies system architecture and enhances data transfer efficiency. Its modular design offers streamlined integration, faster time-to-market, reduced costs, fewer interfaces, and less supply-chain complexity.
Advanced Imaging Capabilities
With a scalable architecture poised to handle data throughput up to hundreds of gigabits per second
This detector system operates at data rates reaching tens of gigabits per second, leading to increased imaging coverage and faster view times with improved temporal resolution.
With a scalable architecture poised to handle data throughput up to hundreds of gigabits per second, AIDA lays a robust groundwork for future PCCT applications. Its advanced imaging functionalities include superior material differentiation, reduced noise, enhanced spatial resolution, and expanded imaging area coverage.
Key Features of AIDA
Katja Lefèvre, Product Manager, emphasized, "AIDA is a trusted data-orchestrator. Our invention enables transmitting dramatically higher data volumes within a single CT system rotation period, bringing us closer to fully unlocking photon-counting applications and addressing the industry's demand for next-generation image quality."
Positive customer feedback and the launch into the pilot phase signify both the platform’s technological maturity and the need for more efficient, scalable CT solutions. The company is eager to assist partners in integrating this system into upcoming imaging devices.
Detection Technology is set to showcase the notable features of AIDA at the RSNA 2025 exhibition in Chicago, USA. Interested attendees can visit Booth 2965, South Hall, Level 3, from November 30 to December 3, 2025.
Detection Technology, a pioneer in X-ray detector solutions, announces that its pioneering all-in-one CT detector system, AIDA, has advanced into customer evaluation — a major step toward its commercial rollout in early 2026.
The move into evaluations also highlights AIDA’s mission to solve one of photon-counting CT’s (PCCT) biggest challenges: managing and transmitting massive data flows. Strong customer interest confirms the hardware-software platform’s suitability for real-world use.
Overall architecture and data transfer
AIDA is designed to redefine X-ray imaging in medical, security, and industrial applications. The platform will support both static and rotating CT systems, including advanced modalities such as photon-counting CT (PCCT).
By integrating detector modules, data combiner boards, data control boards, optimized slip ring interfaces, and DT proprietary API compatible with the GigE Vision protocol into a single, unified hardware–software platform, the system simplifies overall architecture and data transfer while delivering unprecedented performance.
The modular design ensures seamless integration while accelerating time-to-market, reducing total costs, minimizing interfaces, and simplifying supply-chain complexity.
Advanced imaging capabilities
The AIDA detector system orchestrates data at rates of tens of gigabits per second, enabling wider imaging coverage, and faster view times with significantly improved temporal resolution.
Its scalable architecture supports data throughput that can grow toward hundreds of gigabits per second, laying a strong foundation for future PCCT solutions. Advanced imaging capabilities deliver superior material discrimination, lower noise, enhanced spatial resolution, and wide imaging coverage.
