Photon-counting CT for radiotherapy: Qualitative assessment of potential clinical value by semi-structured expert interviews
Semi-structured interviews identified advantages of PCCT that may have the most added clinical value for radiotherapy: the use of spectral data and increased resolution. Head and neck, bone and lung tumors are the clinical applications which were scored highest in terms of added clinical value and these could therefore be the first areas for clinical implementation.
