PHOTON COUNTING CT AND A NEW CONCEPT OF NORMAL... CORONARY ARTERIES For more than 2 decades we have been performing Cardiac CT with constant improvements in all parameters (spatial, temporal and contrast resolution). The improvements were progressive in certain fields and steep in other (e.g.: the introduction of Dual Source CT that completely changed the range of temporal resolution achievable basically overnight and still is the most important source of flexibility in Cardiac CT scanning after almost 20 years). Spatial resolution instead was improved in a slow and progressive way until the test EID CT generations that achieved a spatial resolution of 250 microns. This allowed us to assess a coronary artery tree and define it as normal when no apprentice changes were visibile up to that value. But we know that the normal thickness of coronary artery walls is quite below that threshold. It is more in the range of 80-200 microns. Therefore, the very early changes in coronary artery wall thickness could not be picked up by EID CT technology. With the introduction of PCCT we can constantly achieve 100 microns spatial resolution which means that we work extol in range in which coronary artery disease starts. It also means that we don't see any thickening of the the coronary artery walls we have a much higher specificity and reliability. This concept is a transformative one because it allows us to shift earlier and earlier the beginning of atherosclerosis in our patients and think even more precisely in terms of cardiovascular prevention and monitoring. Movie: example of normal coronary artery tree with PCCT. A new era is coming into practice and it is the age of Photon Counting CT which pushes this boundaries further away. PCCT is a NEW Imaging Modality. PCCT is changing the game, the field, the language, the priorities and in the end it will change the entire infrastructure of diagnostic medicine. PS: note that PCCT images have to be reduced in resolution when uploaded in social media. #CardiacImaging #MedicalInnovation #StentAssessment #Radiology #PCCT #photoncounting #QuantumHD #CT #computedtomography #yesCCT #coronaryarterydisease #ischemia #naeotomalpha #Peak #Pro #Prime #speed #cardiac #highresolution #siemenshealthinners #CardiacCT #PhotonCountingCT #MedicalImaging #HeartHealth #CardiovascularInnovation #Radiology #AIInMedicineshow more
