Quantum iterative reconstruction on a photon-counting detector CT improves the quality of hepatocellular carcinoma imaging

Abstract Background Excellent image quality is crucial for workup of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with liver cirrhosis because a signature tumor signal allows for non-invasive diagnosis without histologic proof. Photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) can enhance abdomina...
