Image Quality and Radiation Dose of Contrast-Enhanced Chest-CT Acquired on a Clinical Photon-Counting Detector CT vs. Second-Generation Dual-Source CT in an Oncologic Cohort: Preliminary Results

Our aim was to compare the image quality and patient dose of contrast-enhanced oncologic chest-CT of a first-generation photon-counting detector (PCD-CT) and a second-generation dual-source dual-energy CT (DSCT). For this reason, one hundred consecutive oncologic patients (63 male, 65 ± 11 years, BM...
