Optimization of spectral photon-counting CT reconstruction parameters for improved detection of peritoneal metastases compared with energy-integrating detector dual-energy CT: a phantom study
To determine the best combination of reconstruction parameters on a spectral photon-counting CT (SPCCT) system to improve detection of peritoneal metastases (PMs) on virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) at 40 keV. A spectral phantom was scanned using SPCCT and dual-energy CT (EID-DECT) at 8.5 mGy (CTDIvol). 40 keV VMIs...
