摘要

To assess perceptual benefits provided by the improved spatial resolution and noise performance of deep silicon photon-counting CT (Si-PCCT) over conventional energy-integrating CT (ECT) using polychromatic images for various clinical tasks and anatomical regions.Anthropomorphic, computational models were developed for lungs, liver, inner ear, and head-and-neck (H&N) anatomies. These regions included specific abnormalities such as lesions in the lungs and liver, and calcified plaques in the carotid arteries. The anatomical models were imaged using a scanner-specific CT simulation platform (DukeSim) modeling a Si-PCCT prototype and a conventional ECT system at matched dose levels. The simulated polychromatic projections were reconstructed with matched in-plane resolutions using manufacturer-specific software. The reconstructed pairs of images were scored by radiologists to gauge the task-specific perceptual benefits provided by Si-PCCT compared to ECT based on visualization of anatomical and image quality features. The scores were standardized as z-scores for minimizing inter-observer variability and compared between the systems for evidence of statistically significant improvement (one-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum test with a significance level of 0.05) in perceptual performance for Si-PCCT.Si-PCCT offered favorable image quality and improved visualization capabilities, leading to mean improvements in task-specific perceptual performance over ECT for most tasks. The improvements for Si-PCCT were statistically significant for the visualization of lung lesion (0.08 ± 0.89 vs. 0.90 ± 0.48), liver lesion (-0.64 ± 0.37 vs. 0.95 ± 0.55), and soft tissue structures (-0.47 ± 0.90 vs. 0.33 ± 1.24) and cochlea (-0.47 ± 0.80 vs. 0.38 ± 0.62) in inner ear.Si-PCCT exhibited mean improvements in task-specific perceptual performance over ECT for most clinical tasks considered in this study, with statistically significant improvement for 6/20 tasks. The perceptual performance of Si-PCCT is expected to improve further with availability of spectral information and reconstruction kernels optimized for high resolution provided by smaller pixel size of Si-PCCT. The outcomes of this study indicate the positive potential of Si-PCCT for benefiting routine clinical practice through improved image quality and visualization capabilities.
