Photon Counting CT: Physics, Technology, and Clinical Opportunities
CT technology has continued to evolve quickly since its introduction into the clinical realm. The latest generation of standard CT systems produces images faster, with better quality, and at lower doses than ever before. However, the recent introduction of photon counting detectors promises to mark a new leap forward for CT imaging. Its capabilities have the potential to not only further improve the quality of the acquired images, but also to allow for the introduction of new capabilities that were previously unreachable for CT. This will also come about thanks to continued developments in software methods.
During this session, we will review the new technological and physical aspects of photon-counting CT systems, introduce the advances in software that are made possible thanks to this technology, and the new opportunities in the clinic that these exciting new developments bring about.
