    Photon-counting CT (PCCT) enhances diagnostic imaging with improved spectral imaging and reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional CT.

  • 2

    A 2-year longitudinal study assessed the quantitative stability of a first-generation clinical PCCT scanner, demonstrating consistent performance.

  • 3

    PCCT's spectral imaging capabilities allow differentiation between various tissues and materials, improving diagnostic accuracy.

  • 4

    The study utilized a phantom to evaluate PCCT's stability, scanning it weekly and recording software and hardware updates for analysis.

  • 5

    Findings indicate that PCCT maintains quantitative stability over time, highlighting its reliability for clinical applications.
