Photon Counting Computed Tomography

Preferred Label : Photon Counting Computed Tomography;

NCIt synonyms : PCD-CT; Photon-Counting CT; Photon-Counting Computed Tomography; Photon-counting Detector CT; PCCT;

NCIt definition : A computed tomography technique that uses energy-resolving x-ray detectors to count the number of incoming photons and measure photon energy. This results in higher contrast-to-noise ratio, improved spatial resolution, and optimized spectral imaging. It can reduce radiation exposure, reconstruct images at a higher resolution, and optimize the use of contrast agents.;
