Photon-Counting Detector CT Improves Visualization of the Normal Carotid Body Compared with Energy-Integrating Detector CT.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The carotid bodies are small chemoreceptor organs at the carotid bifurcation. Their depiction on conventional CT angiography is inconsistent, with reported detection rates on energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT) of 62% to 91%. This study evaluates whether photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) i...
