Hitachi's business moves also made news in March, 2016, when it partnered with Redien Technologies, a radiation sensor manufacturer, to work on a promising new diagnostic imaging modality called photon counting computer tomography (PCCT).
PCCT is a form of CT, but it extracts tomographic images from the measured amount of X-ray photons. CT measures the summation of the energy of X-ray photons, but PCCT can measure the energy of detected X-ray photons individually, which allows much more information to be acquired.

Additionally, last February, Hitachi and Philips
agreed to collaborate to address the inability to share images rapidly across health systems.
“We wanted to address the biggest challenges health care organizations face in making their many millions of images, often stored in multivendor systems and infrastructures from various departments, rapidly available to virtually any clinician at any location within the health system,” Mark Khalil, global director of solutions marketing and strategy for enterprise imaging informatics at Philips, told HCB News at the time.
