Optimizing contrast timing in photon-counting detector CT for the assessment of peripheral arthritis
Iodine uptake in inflamed tissues was identical across all three post-contrast phases. However, the 120-s phase offered the highest contrast between inflammation and surrounding vascular structures while minimizing scan time, supporting its use for standardized follow-up imaging.
