Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Photon-Counting CT in Clinical Application” focuses on the use of photon-counting technology in clinical application and the resulting possibilities for optimized patient care.
Photon-counting CT has now been applied in many institutions in everyday routine care, and studies are becoming increasingly patient-oriented as a result. The main topic of the research is on the various application possibilities of spectral imaging, tissue characterization, and the advantages of higher spatial resolution made possible by the new detector principle.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to bundle innovative photon-counting CT patient studies or studies with a direct link to patient care, regardless of the specialist discipline.
