Non-contrast photon counting computed tomography of the head: optimized modeling of off-focal radiation to reduce calvarium-related tissue inhomogeneity

Non-contrast photon counting computed tomography of the head: optimized modeling of off-focal radiation to reduce calvarium-related tissue inhomogeneity

Abstract Background Photon counting CT (PCCT) is a promising technique for neuroradiological CT examinations. In initial studies on non-contrast PCCT of the head (NCCT), however, artifacts close to the calvarium were noticed, which lead to an inhomogeneous representation of the brain tissue. In this...
