Photon-counting CT in maxillofacial and temporal bone CT—a comparative analysis of image quality and dose with high-end energy-integrating CT systems
This work compares the quality of maxillofacial and temporal bone imaging in PCDCT, DECT, and SDCT. Scans of a cadaveric human specimen were investigated using different radiation doses. PCDCT offers excellent image quality for temporal bone and maxillofacial CT. PCDCT, SDCT, and DECT all showed good image quality overall.
