摘要：
We compared image quality of head and neck CT angiography (CTA) obtained with a photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT), including virtual monoenergetic images and polyenergetic reconstructions, and conventional energy-integrating detectors CT (EID-CT) in three patients. PCD-CT monoenergetic reconstructions at 70 keV and lower provided excellent image quality, with improved signal-to-noise and contrast-to-noise compared to EID-CT and PCD-CT polyenergetic reconstructions. PCD-CT may enable radiation dose and iodinated contrast dose reduction for cerebrovascular imaging.
