Novel Photon-Counting Computed Tomography for the Evaluation of Large-Vessel Giant Cell Arteritis
Although conventional computed tomography (CT) angiograms and magnetic resonance angiograms visualize stenotic and aneurysmal lesions of the medium vessels, the assessment of distal arterial tree and vessels < 0.2 mm is limited, particularly in the setting of stenosis and atherosclerosis.<sup>1</sup> The enhanced novel technology of photo-counting CT (PCCT) measures incoming photons based on individual energy levels, with remarkable spatial resolution that can revolutionize diagnosis of large- and medium-vessel vasculitis.<sup>1</sup>
