    Spectral photon-counting computed tomography (SPCCT) offers ultra-high-resolution imaging, significantly improving coronary artery disease assessment.

  • 2

    SPCCT utilizes photon-counting detectors, enhancing image quality and reducing noise compared to traditional energy-integrating detectors.

  • 3

    The study compares 40 keV SPCCT images with 70 keV SPCCT, 40 keV DECT, and 70 keV DECT in high-risk cardiovascular patients.

  • 4

    Ultra-high-resolution 40 keV images may improve diagnostic performance and reduce iodine volume in coronary computed tomography angiography.

  • 5

    The research was conducted at a tertiary hospital, with ethical approval and informed consent from all participating high-risk patients.
