Abstract:Background
Lower extremity peripheral artery disease frequently presents with calcifications which reduces the accuracy of computed tomography (CT) angiography, especially below-the-knee. Photon-counting detector (PCD)-CT offers improved spatial resolution and less calcium blooming. We aimed to identify the optimal reconstruction parameters for PCD-CT angiography of the lower legs.
Methods
Tubes with different diameters (1–5 mm) were filled with di… Show more
