Photon counting CT versus energy‐integrating CT: A comparative evaluation of advances in image resolution, noise, and dose efficiency
The direct counting detection in PCCT has been shown to significantly improve sinogram noise and detector MTF ratios compared to energy integrating EICT. The observed translations into CT system MTF, image NPS, image noise, and dose ratios reflect a paradigm shift for CT image quality and dose efficiency.
