Photon Counting CT: Clinical Applications and Future Developments

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 applications of this technology with a particular focus on the experience of our own institution with a prototype PCD CT scanner. Photon counting detectors (PCDs) have three primary advantages over conventional, energy integrating detectors (EIDs): 1) they provide...
