Abstract: | Purpose - To assess the dose-normalized iodine contrast-to-noise-ratio (CNRD) improvement and contrast media reduction potential obtained with photon-counting (PC) CT compared to conventional energy-integrating (EI) CT as a function of patient size and tube voltage. - Method - Images of a semi-anthropomorphic phantom of different sizes (small, medium, large) equipped with vials containing different iodine concentrations were acquired at the SOMATOM CounT prototype CT system using tube voltages of 80 kV-140 kV. CNRD is evaluated in reconstructions obtained using the EI detector, the PC detector using a single bin, and in reconstructions obtained by statistically optimally weighting acquisitions with two bins. Iodine CNRD improvements, potential dose reduction and the potential contrast media volume reduction are reported. - Results - In general, iodine CNRD improvement increases with increasing tube voltage for all patient sizes. In particular, if only one energy bin is used, the CNRD improvement is up to 30 % (small: 10 %, medium: 18 %, large: 30 %) and up to 37 % if an optimal weighting of two bins is performed (small: 13 %, medium: 25 %, large: 37 %) which is equivalent to the potential contrast media volume reduction. The improved iodine CNRD of PC compared to EI may allow for a potential radiation dose reduction of up to 46 %. - Conclusions - All patients’ iodine contrast at given x-ray dose, and particularly medium and large sized patients acquired at higher tube voltages, may benefit from photon-counting CT. The iodine contrast improvement can be used to reduce patient dose or to reduce the amount of contrast agent that is administered. |
