Carotid artery assessment in dual-source photon-counting CT: impact of low-energy virtual monoenergetic imaging on image quality, vascular contrast and diagnostic assessability
Low-keV VMI reconstructions at a level of 40-55 keV significantly improve image quality, vascular contrast, and the diagnostic assessability of the carotid artery compared with standard CT series in photon-counting CTA.
