Detection Technology Plc - Experts & Thought Leaders

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, optimised 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, minimising 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. Key features of AIDA 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.” Detection Technology will highlight the key features of AIDA at the RSNA 2025 exhibition in Chicago, USA. Visit Detection Technology at Booth 2965, South Hall, Level 3, from 30 November to 3 December 2025.

Detection Technology, a global pioneer in X-ray detector solutions, has been awarded the EcoVadis Bronze Medal on its very first assessment — earning an impressive debut score of 63 points that reflects an exceptional initial ranking.  Achieving bronze on the first attempt marks above-average ESG performance and represents a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices. “Most first-time companies score around 48 points, and only about 3% of them exceed the advanced 65-point level — a threshold we came very close to with our strong debut score of 63 points. On average, companies outperform the 63-point level on their fourth rating. Detection Technology’s Bronze Medal on its first attempt is truly exceptional,” said Kai Utela, Vice President of Operations at Detection Technology. Bronze-level recognition The bronze-level recognition places Detection Technology among the top 35% of all companies assessed globally over the past twelve months and reflects a performance that exceeds that of 63% of companies rated during the same period. This achievement confirms that the company has established a solid sustainability management system and is performing above average in key areas of environmental, ethical, and social responsibility. Ongoing development and improvement “Our EcoVadis rating demonstrates that we are truly a trusted partner, ensuring that our customers and other stakeholders do not need to worry about sustainability risks. They can rely on our business operations meeting strong sustainability criteria, as this recognition shows our above-average commitment compared to our peers.” “The assessment also enables us to benchmark our performance against other companies and continue our sustainability journey in the right direction, with a clear focus on ongoing development and improvement.” Corporate social responsibility Detection Technology selected EcoVadis as its sustainability assessment partner due to the platform’s global recognition, and reliability. EcoVadis provides an easy-to-understand framework for measuring and communicating sustainability performance, enabling the company to transparently share its progress with business partners and the investor community. Detection Technology’s approach to corporate social responsibility is firmly grounded in its vision, mission, and values. The company’s sustainability practices are business-driven and closely tied to its culture, which emphasizes exceptional customer experience and excellence in quality. Sustainability framework Its commitment to responsible conduct is reflected in its adherence to certified ISO management systems and compliance with the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct. “EcoVadis aligns seamlessly with our sustainability framework. The principles of both RBA and EcoVadis are founded on the same international standards. This alignment makes EcoVadis an effective tool for measuring and communicating Detection Technology’s compliance with RBA expectations and for ensuring the company continues to evolve in the right direction.”
