Contribution of photon counting CT to the detectability of lung nodules using ultra-low dose CT protocols: a phantom study
Compared with EID-CT, using PCCT makes it possible to reduce noise, improve noise texture and, above all, improve the detection of simulated high-contrast thoracic lesion in ULD CT protocols.
