“Photon-counting CT will become the new standard in chest imaging”
In pulmonology, photon-counting computed tomography (CT) enables physicians to precisely evaluate function thanks to highly detailed spectral maps.
Professor Frank Wacker, MD1, and Professor Jens Vogel-Claussen, MD1, report their experiences in clinical practice.
We were very excited about the dose efficiency of the new system.
Professor Frank Wacker, MD, Chairman of Radiology, Hannover Medical School, Germany
Photon-counting CT has huge potential for future CT lung cancer screening programs.
