Abstract
This study aims to investigate the performance of a whole-body, photon-counting detector (PCD) computed tomography (CT) system in differentiating urinary stone composition.Eighty-seven human urinary stones with pure mineral composition were placed in four anthropomorphic water phantoms (35-50 cm lateral dimension) and scanned on a PCD-CT system at 100, 120, and 140 kV. For each phantom size, tube current was selected to match CTDIvol (volume CT...
