FDA approval for Siemens NAEOTOM
Mayo Clinic’s CT Clinical Innovation Center has been part of a journey that spanned more than a decade. Partnering with Siemens Healthineers, the first human whole-body, high-flux photon counting CT system was installed at Mayo in 2014. Another prototype was installed in 2020, and today the system installed in April 2021, the NAEOTOM Alpha, has […]

Chelsea Dunning, PhD, has joined our group! Her graduate research was focused on building a table-top x-ray imaging system capable of simultaneous x-ray fluorescence computed tomography and photon-counting computed tomography imaging of high-atomic number contrast agents, which involved both Monte Carlo simulations and experiments for optimization. As a research fellow in the CT CIC, she […]
