Detection Technology Advances AIDA to Customer Evaluation

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Detection Technology, a global leader 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.

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.

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.

As, Product Manager Katja Lefèvre noted, “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.”

“Customer feedback has been highly positive. Entering the pilot phase demonstrates both the technological maturity of our platform and the clear need for more efficient, scalable, and higher-performance CT solutions. We are excited to support our partners as they begin integrating this system into next-generation imaging equipment.”
