Clinical Feasibility and Evaluation of Silicon Photon Counting CT
GE Healthcare
Summary
The purpose of the study is to collect data to evaluate utility of the using photon-counting CT in a clinical setting.
Description
Data collected in this study includes an assessment of image quality parameters including spatial resolution, image contrast, and noise that will evaluate the product and how this photon-counting CT technology can be used to reduce the overall radiation dose in CT imaging, and enhance clinical applications for CT technology. This data and analysis will help support regulatory submission.
