Photon-counting CT improves detection of myeloma bone disease

Lytic bone lesions in a multiple myeloma patient
Improved diagnosis: Lytic bone lesions in a multiple myeloma patient are better visualized in the photon-counting detector (PCD) CT image (middle, solid arrows) than in the conventional low-dose CT image (left, dashed arrows). PCD CT images reconstructed with thinner sections and denoised using deep learning revealed even more lesions (right, arrowheads). (Courtesy: Radiological Society of North America)
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have combined photon-counting detector (PCD) CT with deep learning-ba
