In addition to providing higher SNRs in vascular structures and parenchymal organs than energy-integrating detector CT, photon-counting CT enabled an approximately 30 percent reduction in volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) for patients with obesity, according to a new study.
Facilitating enhanced 3D visualization of skeletal anatomy, the BoneEnhance machine learning module reportedly provides automated segmentation of bone and surrounding tissues for the Accuro XV ultrasound system.
Newly published preclinical research signals a substantial conceptual shift with a potential role of photon-counting CT in targeting specific biological processes.
