Optimization of Kernel Type and Sharpness Level Improves Objective and Subjective Image Quality for High-Pitch Photon Counting Coronary CT Angiography

Optimization of Kernel Type and Sharpness Level Improves Objective and Subjective Image Quality for High-Pitch Photon Counting Coronary CT Angiography

(1) Background: Photon-counting detector (PCD) CT offers a wide variety of kernels and sharpness levels for image reconstruction. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine optimal settings for coronary CT angiography (CCTA). (2) Methods: Thirty patients (eight female, mean age 63 ± 13 yea...
