Emerging Advances in Photon-Counting Computed Tomography

New research on photon-counting computed tomography in 2025 reveals increasing capabilities of the technology to enhance CT visualization and characterization with significant reductions in radiation dosing in cardiovascular imaging, abdominal imaging and other diagnostic applications.

Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) has had a transformative impact in medical imaging, enabling the acquisition of highly detailed spectral data and significant noise reduction in comparison to traditional energy-integrating detector (EID) systems.¹
