Can it be used for drones, thus dispensing with fibre?

This needs wires to work, so no. But that's okay for China because its air force can do SEAD and it is capable enough to build satellite connected drones that don't require a comically long aux to function, unlike certain other nuclear states.
Just surpassing Germany is not enough. China needs to be multiple times larger than Germany in this industry.
This CT was developed by Nanovision with 24 X-ray tubes and 64 detectors arranged circularly. Normal CT scanners have to rotate, but this one is stationary. Must be crazy expensive though!
NeuSoft and UnitedImaging are also leading in another next-gen CT scanner tech: photon counting CT (more likely winner imo).
Might be cheaper in maintenance given less moving parts.

Also some interesting facts here
Thanks to domestic CT and MRI scanner brands which crossed 50% market share in recent years, China surpassed EU in #installed CT scanner units per million and is set to surpass EU in MRI units per million. This is how you make healthcare both affordable and high quality.
Domestic medical equipment brands are really taking off not only in cheap models but also truly high end models like PETCT, PETMR and 5T MRI
