A systematic task-based image quality assessment of photon-counting and energy integrating CT as a function of reconstruction kernel and phantom size.

Journal Article Med Phys · February 2024 BACKGROUND: Image quality of photon-counting and energy integrating CT scanners changes with object size, dose to the object, and kernel selection. PURPOSE: To comprehensively compare task-generic image quality of photon-counting CT (PCCT) and energy integ ... Full text Link to item Cite

A comparative study on the utility and choice parameters of photon-counting CT for bone quantification

Conference Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE · January 1, 2024 The measurements of bone macro- and microstructures provide major insight into bone health and risk fracture. The accuracy of these measurements is limited when Conventional CT is used. However, CT technology has advanced with the introduction of photon-co ... Full text Cite

Performance assessment of photon counting versus energy integrated CT: concordance of in vivo and phantom measurements

Conference Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE · January 1, 2024 Photon-counting CT (PCCT) and energy-integrating CT (EICT) system offer differing image quality attributes, but it is uncertain if such attributes manifest themselves differently across phantom vs patients. This study investigated if image quality assessme ... Full text Cite
