A new £1m scanner at Royal Brompton Hospital using Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT), made by British firm Kromek, has cut lengthy lung scans from 45 to 15 minutes. The “amazing feat of engineering” allows for highly detailed 3D images while reducing the radioactive dose by 30%, ushering in a “revolution” in medical imaging.
