PCCT bests conventional CT for quantifying coronary plaque Photon-counting detector CT (PCCT) used for coronary CT angiography outperforms energy-integrating detector CT in quantifying coronary plaque.

"The importance of quantifying coronary plaque burden has been emphasized previously because plaque burden, not stenosis, is the major predictor of risk of cardiovascular events and death," researchers noted #radiology #coronaryplaque #CTimaging #PCCT
