Optimizing Imaging Parameters for Assessment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Photon-Counting Detector Computed Tomography—Impact of Reconstruction Kernel and Slice Thickness
PCD-CT reconstruction Br40<sub>1 mm</sub> was the most suitable setting for overall image quality, while reconstructions with sharper kernels (Br44<sub>1 mm</sub> and Br48<sub>1 mm</sub>) can be considered for the assessment of the hepatic vasculature in patients with HCC.
