Gadolinium-based coronary CT angiography on a clinical photon-counting-detector system: a dynamic circulating phantom study
GBCA-enhanced coronary PCD-CT angiography is not feasible at clinically approved doses. GBCAs have potential applications for the visualization of larger vessels, such as the aorta, on PCD-CT angiography. Higher GBCA doses and lower keV reconstructions achieved higher attenuation values and CNR.
