Improving image quality and diagnostic usability in photon-counting coronary CT angiography using a novel reconstruction algorithm
Question How well does the novel ZeeFree algorithm address motion artifacts in photon-counting coronary CT angiography? Findings ZeeFree significantly outperformed Standard and TrueStack reconstruction algorithms for image quality and diagnostic usability. Clinical relevance Enhanced image quality with ZeeFree could improve the diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
