“In our study, none of the PCCT examinations exhibited a poor image quality, and only a few were of limited or moderate quality,” Dr. Dirrichs said.
He noted that of the DSCT images, almost one-quarter were of limited or non-diagnostic quality, and 40% were of moderate quality.

“PCCT is a promising method that may improve diagnostic image quality and efficiency compared to DSCT imaging,” Dr. Dirrichs said. “This higher efficiency can be used to reduce the radiation dose at a given image quality level or to improve image quality at a given radiation level.”
“Photon-counting versus Dual-Source CT of Congenital Heart Defects in Neonates and Infants: Initial Experience.” Collaborating with Dr. Dirrichs were Eric Tietz, M.D., André Rüffer, M.D., Jens Hanten, M.D., Thai Duy Nguyen, M.D., Ebba Dethlefsen, M.D., and Christiane K. Kuhl, M.D.
