Optimal Spectral Performance on Pediatric Photon-Counting CT
The high kV options (120 or 140 kV) on the PCCT unit demonstrated overall better performance than the low kV options (70 or 90 kV), in terms of image quality of VMIs and IMs. Our results recommend the use of high kV for general body imaging on the PCCT.
