Applicability of Effective Atomic Number (Z eff) Image Analysis of Coronary Plaques Measured With Photon- Counting Computed Tomography
Zeff imaging was shown to be applicable to plaque analysis that reflects the entire plaque volume. This study demonstrated its technical feasibility as a compositional analysis method using the Zeff image.
