Photon-Counting CT in Cardiovascular Imaging: Clinical Applications

Korean J Radiol. 2026 Mar;27(3):227-243. doi: 10.3348/kjr.2024.0261.ABSTRACTPhoton-counting CT (PCCT) uses semiconductor detectors to directly convert X-ray photons to electrical signals, the intensity of which is directly proportional to the energy of the individual photons. PCCT offers several adv
