Multicolor spectral photon-counting computed tomography: in vivo dual contrast imaging with a high count rate scanner

Abstract A new prototype spectral photon-counting computed tomography (SPCCT) based on a modified clinical CT system has been developed. SPCCT analysis of the energy composition of the transmitted x-ray spectrum potentially allows simultaneous dual contrast agent imaging, however, this has not yet b...
