Optimizing Arterial Vessel Contrast in Portal Venous Phase with Virtual Monoenergetic Images from Photon-Counting Detector CT Scans of the Abdomen—First Clinical Experiences

Optimizing Arterial Vessel Contrast in Portal Venous Phase with Virtual Monoenergetic Images from Photon-Counting Detector CT Scans of the Abdomen—First Clinical Experiences

Background: Photon-counting detector (PCD) computed tomography (CT) allows for the reconstruction of virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) at different thresholds. Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the optimal arterial contrast in portal venous (pv) scans regarding objective parameters an...
