Photon-counting detector (PCD) CT represents the most recent generational advance in CT technology. PCD CT has the potential to reduce image noise, improve spatial resolution and contrast resolution, and provide multispectral capability, all of which may be achieved with an overall decrease in the radiation dose. These effects may be used to reduce the iodinated contrast media dose and potentially obtain multiphase images through a single-acquisition technique. The benefits of PCD CT have previously been shown primarily in phantoms and adult patients. This article describes the application of PCD CT in children, as illustrated by clinical examples from a commercially available PCD CT system.
