New photon-counting CT scanner unveiled at Sengkang General Hospital

The technology uses up to 30 per cent less radiation compared to traditional scanners.

Sengkang General Hospital (SKH) has launched a new photon-counting computed tomography (CT) scanner, developed by Siemens Healthineers.

The NAEOTOM Alpha leverages photon-counting detector technology and delivers highly detailed submillimetre images with improved contrast.

Moreover, the technology directly converts X-ray photons into digital signals whilst using up to 30 per cent less radiation compared to traditional CT scanners.

In line with this, the new scanner enables early disease detection and intervention to improve care effectiveness and efficiency, said SKH CEO Teo Eng Kiong.

“With over 1,800 successful cases since November 2024, we are seeing how this technology helps us build a more resilient healthcare system that serves our patients’ needs today and tomorrow," Teo added.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
