Detection Technology advances AIDA to customer evaluation, setting a new PCCT data-transmission benchmark
Detection Technology, a global leader 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.
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, optimized 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, minimizing interfaces, and simplifying supply-chain complexity.

A prestigious recognition in the ‘Outstanding Use Case: Driving Digital Transformation’ category went to the consortium involved in the project, Oulu University Hospital, Pohde – The Wellbeing Services County of North Ostrobothnia, University of Oulu, and WICOAR Technologies.
The Hola 5G Oulu project marks Europe’s first private 5G network deployed in a live hospital environment, tested in high-stakes scenarios including patient wards and surgical theatres. Installed at Oulu University Hospital (OYS), the network delivers ultra-reliable, interference-free connectivity across patient wards and surgical theatres, introducing a new era of smart, responsive care.
Key highlights:
- Private 5G standalone network: Ensures seamless, secure connectivity, even during blackouts
- AR Smart Glasses: Deliver live patient data to clinicians in surgical theatres and wards
- Voice Communication Headsets: Enable instant coordination across hospital wings
- Wing-to-Wing Coverage: Eliminates fragmented communication and boosts operational efficiency
This project is funded by the European Union.

The OYSTER health and life science business incubator, launched at the beginning of 2024, has been an interesting and educational journey both for the teams developing business ideas and for our project team. From the very start, our goal was to build both a pre-incubator and a full business incubator – to provide sparring for the development of early-stage ideas as well as long-term support for the growth of start-ups.
The first months were spent designing operational models, exploring the latest research on business incubation, and building cooperation with experienced incubators in the field. We also brought in external consultancy, while our project team already had strong experience in entrepreneurship and business incubation.
In autumn 2024, we organized the first 100-day pre-incubator program, with 13 teams participating. Five of them continued into the full OYSTER incubator program, which started at the beginning of 2025. Altogether, 10 teams began in the main business incubator program, which is still ongoing.
