First Experience With a Whole-Body Spectral Photon-Counting CT Clinical Prototype

Abstract: Spectral photon-counting computed tomography (SPCCT) technology holds great promise for becoming the next generation of computed tomography (CT) systems. Its technical characteristics have many advantages over conventional CT imaging. For example, SPCCT provides better spatial resolution, greater dose efficiency for ultra-low-dose and low-dose protocols, and tissue contrast superior to that of conventional CT. In addition, SPCCT takes advantage of several known approaches in the field of spectral CT imaging, s… Show more

“…This system was later upgraded to a preclinical PCD-CT with a field of view (FOV) of 50 cm, a z-coverage of 17.6 mm at the isocenter, and 0.33 seconds of gantry rotation time. 20 This system has been used for large animal and human studies, including cardiac CT. [21][22][23][24] In 2020, the second generation of preclinical PCD-CT with a CdTe detector (SOMATOM CounT Plus; Siemens Healthcare) was installed at 3 clinical institutions. The single-source CT had 0.3 seconds gantry rotation time and was equipped with a detector consisting of subpixels with a size of 0.275 Â 0.322 mm 2 (0.151 Â 0.176 mm 2 at the isocenter).…”

“…For the DSCT scanner, the iterative algorithm Advanced Modeled Iterative Reconstruction (ADMIRE) was applied at each iteration level from one to five. Its model is based on the IR algorithm that uses advanced noise reduction methods such as noise and system modeling [ 16 ]. The PCCT scanner was released with a new iterative algorithm, namely, Quantum IR (QIR), with four strength levels.…”
