ABSTRACT
Photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) is a new technology that has multiple diagnostic benefits including increased spatial resolution, iodine signal, and radiation dose efficiency, as well as multi-energy imaging capability, but which also has unique challenges in abdominal imaging. The purpose of this work is to summarize key features, technical parameters, and terms, which are common amongst current abdominopelvic PCD-CT systems and to propose standardized terminology (where none exists). In addition, user-selectable protocol parameters are highlighted to facilitate both scientific evaluation and early clinical adoption. Unique features of PCD-CT systems include photon-counting detectors themselves, energy thresholds and bins, and tube potential considerations for preserved spectral separation. Key parameters for describing different PCD-CT systems are reviewed and explained. While PCD-CT can generate multi-energy images like dual-energy CT, there are new types of images such as threshold images, energy bin images, and special spectral images. The standardized terms and concepts herein build upon prior interdisciplinary consensus and have been endorsed by the newly created Society of Abdominal Radiology Photon-counting CT Emerging Technology Commission.
