Virtual calcium removal in calcified coronary arteries with photon-counting detector CT—first in-vivo experience

Virtual calcium removal in calcified coronary arteries with photon-counting detector CT—first in-vivo experience

PurposeTo evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of quantification of calcified coronary stenoses using virtual non-calcium (VNCa) images in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) with photon-counting detector (PCD) CT compared with quantitative coronary angiography (QCA).Materials and methodsThis retrospect...
