Our goal: revolutionize medical imaging as we know it today

The Physics of Medical Imaging group at KTH are at the forefront of research in new technologies for medical imaging, encompassing both the development of advanced hardware and software for image processing, algorithm development, and other computational methods.

The work of our research group has so far resulted in three spin-off companies, as well as a number of innovations that have been installed in clinics in over 30 countries and used in more than 10 million patient examinations.

European Radiology (2020): imaging an excised human heart using a prototype silicon photon-counting CT detector — Our research focuses on hardware development, advanced image and signal processing, statistical modelling, and machine learning, tailored to large and complex datasets and clinical requirements for high accuracy, robustness, and computational efficiency.

Visual Computing for Industry, Biomedicine, and Art: noise suppression in photon-counting CT using unsupervised Poisson flow generative models — Our research focuses on hardware development, advanced image and signal processing, statistical modelling, and machine learning, tailored to large and complex datasets and clinical requirements for high accuracy, robustness, and computational efficiency.

Photon-counting CT system presented at RSNA — In 2025 at RSNA, the world's largest meeting place for radiologist, GE HealthCare unveiled its new CT scanner Photonova Spectra based on the “Deep Silicon” technology developed in our group.
