Influence of X-ray Tube Voltage on Computed Tomography Values and Contrast-Noise Ratios in Virtual Monoenergetic Images in routine clinical Photon Counting Detector Computed Tomography: Does kV Still Matter?
PURPOSE Conventional energy integrating detector (EID) CT provides polyenergetic images where CT values depend on the tube voltage (kV), hampering quantitative analysis across different CT scans. To mitigate this problem, spectral CT such as photon-counting detector (PCD) CT offers virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) wh...
