Vital Materials Ushers in a New Era of Medical Imaging with VITA Genesis

From August 15 to 17, 2025, the 31st China International Medical Equipment Exhibition and Scientific Conference (China-Hospeq 2025) took place in Beijing, marking a significant milestone in medical imaging technology. Among the highlights of this conference was the official unveiling of Vital Materials' innovative product, the VITA Genesis. This groundbreaking Photon Counting CT (PCCT) scanner signifies a leap into the Quantum Flux sensing era, showcasing China's capability to lead in precision diagnostics and treatment.

Understanding the Technology Behind PCCT

At the core of the VITA Genesis is the Photon Counting Detector (PCD), which radically alters the traditional methods used in Computed Tomography (CT) scanners. Unlike conventional Energy Integrating Detectors (EID) that process X-ray photons through a multiple-step conversion into visible light and subsequently into electrical signals, PCCT employs an advanced technique using semiconductor materials. In this method, X-ray photons stimulate electrons, leading to the creation of electron-hole pairs that are proportionate to the energy of the incoming photons.

These charge carriers are then separated by an electric field to produce electrical pulses. Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) play a crucial role by sorting these pulses according to energy bins, allowing for precise photon counting alongside refined energy resolution. This remarkable technological advancement not only enriches diagnostic capabilities but also supports multi-energy spectral imaging, thus significantly boosting the clinical value of medical imaging outputs.

Materials Driving Future Innovation

Currently, the primary materials utilized for PCCT detectors include Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT), Cadmium Telluride (CdTe), and Deep Silicon. Among these, CZT is perceived as a game-changer for the next generation of medical imaging due to its exceptional detection efficiencies. What set VITA Genesis apart is not just its usage of CZT-based detectors, but its pioneering approach to fully master the full vertical integration technology of PCCT.

This encompasses a holistic approach to the entire value chain: from

• - Ultra-high purity metals purification and compounding,
• - Single crystal growth and processing,
• - Component design and development,
• - Integration of CT systems,
• - To the development of sophisticated imaging algorithms.

Establishing a Global Paradigm

Vital Materials' focus on the comprehensive development of its PCCT technology establishes it as a leader in medical imaging innovation. By integrating every aspect of the PCCT manufacturing and design process within the company, they have created a global paradigm that sets a new standard in the industry. With VITA Genesis, healthcare professionals are now equipped with tools that significantly enhance their ability to diagnose, treat, and manage patient health more accurately and effectively.

As the exhibition concluded, the reception of VITA Genesis highlighted Vital Materials' commitment to advancing medical technology and growing China's footprint in the global healthcare landscape. The development and rollout of the VITA Genesis marks not only a technological breakthrough but also a testament to what innovative resources, skilled craftsmanship, and a dedicated vision can achieve in the ever-evolving world of healthcare technology.

The future is indeed bright for medical imaging, with Vital Materials leading the charge towards a more precise, efficient, and technologically advanced era.
