Photon-counting CT is an emerging technology with the potential to dramatically change
clinical CT. Photon-counting CT uses new energy-resolving x-ray detectors, with …

The first CT scanners in the early 1970s already used iterative reconstruction algorithms;
however, lack of computational power prevented their clinical use. In fact, it took until 2009 …

Photon-counting detector (PCD) CT is an emerging technology that has shown tremendous
progress in the last decade. Various types of PCD CT systems have been developed to …

Background An iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithm was introduced for clinical photon-
counting detector (PCD) CT. Purpose To investigate the image quality and the optimal …

In x‐ray computed tomography (CT), materials with different elemental compositions can
have identical CT number values, depending on the mass density of each material and the …

The use of a photon counting detector in CT (PCD CT) is currently the subject of intense
investigation and development. In this review article, we will describe potential clinical …

The X-ray imaging field is currently undergoing a period of rapid technological innovation in
diagnostic imaging equipment. An important recent development is the advent of new X-ray …

Multienergy CT involves acquisition of two or more CT measurements with distinct energy
spectra. Using the differential attenuation of tissues and materials at different x-ray energies …

We report a comprehensive evaluation of a full field-of-view (FOV) photon-counting detector
(PCD) computed tomography (CT) system using phantoms, and qualitatively assess image …
