Paediatric high-pitch lung imaging with photon-counting detector computed tomography: a dose reduction phantom study
PCD-CT enables high-pitch lung imaging while maintaining adequate image quality at a radiation dose as low as 0.07 mGy, with quantum iterative reconstruction 4, in a paediatric phantom representing a 5-year-old child.
