Photon-counting CT proves value in driving down imaging dose
Photon-counting CT is showing promise as a way of reducing radiation dose by more than a third, researchers from TĂĽbingen in Germany have reported. It enables oncologic abdominal CT with a much reduced dose while retaining image quality similar to dual-energy CT, they say.
