Photon-counting detectors are a promising new technology for computed tomography (CT)
systems. They provide energy-resolved CT data at very high spatial resolution without …

Novel photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) has the potential to address the limitations of
previous CT systems, such as insufficient spatial resolution, limited accuracy in detecting …

Photon-counting CT is an emerging technology with the potential to dramatically change
clinical CT. Photon-counting CT uses new energy-resolving x-ray detectors, with …

The first CT scanners in the early 1970s already used iterative reconstruction algorithms;
however, lack of computational power prevented their clinical use. In fact, it took until 2009 …

Photon-counting detector (PCD) CT is an emerging technology that has shown tremendous
progress in the last decade. Various types of PCD CT systems have been developed to …

The introduction of photon-counting detectors is expected to be the next major breakthrough
in clinical x-ray computed tomography (CT). During the last decade, there has been …

The X-ray detector is a fundamental component of a CT system that determines the image
quality and dose efficiency. Until the approval of the first clinical photon-counting-detector …

The basic performance of photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD CT) is
superior to conventional CT (energy-integrating detector CT: EID CT) because its spatial …

Since 1971 and Hounsfield's first CT system, clinical CT systems have used scintillating
energy-integrating detectors (EIDs) that use a two-step detection process. First, the X-ray …

Please see the Editorial Comment by Carsten Hackenbroch discussing this article. Photon-
counting detector (PCD) CT has emerged as a novel imaging modality that represents a …
