Photon Counting Computed Tomography: A Breakthrough in Imaging Technology

Abstract

Photon counting computed tomography (PCCT) is an emerging imaging technology that has been under development for 
several years. There are numerous benefits and applications of 
photon-counting computed tomography (CT) machines that have 
created a significant buzz in the healthcare community. 
Compared to traditional CT, PCCT technology has a superior spectral and spatial resolution, resulting in a stronger image 
resolution. It is also much faster than traditional CT and it uses 
lower radiation. Patient size and even movement are not a factor 
when worrying about motion artifacts or blurriness.
