- Purpose: To quantitatively and qualitatively assess the visibility of bone structures in the wrist on photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) images compared to state-of-the-art energy-integrating de-tector CT (EID-CT).Method: Four human cadaveric wrist specimens were scanned with EID-CT and PCD-CT at identical CTDIvolof 12.2 mGy and with 6.1 mGy (half dose PCD-CT). Axial images were reconstructed using the thinnest possible slice thickness, i.e. 0.4 mm on EID-CT and 0.2 mm on PCD-CT, with the largest image matrix size possible using reconstruction kernels optimized for bone (EID-CT: Ur68, PCD-CT: Br92). Quantitative evaluation was performed to determine contrast-noise ratio (CNR) of bone/ fat, cortical and trabecular sharpness. An observer study using visual grading characteristics (VGC) analysis was performed by six observers to assess the visibility of nutrient canals, trabecular architecture, cortical bone and the general image quality.Results: At equal dose, images obtained with PCD-CT had 39 +/- 6 % lower CNR (p = 0.001), 71 +/- 57 % higher trabecular sharpness in the radius (p = 0.02) and 42 +/- 8 % (p < 0.05) sharper cortical edges than those obtained with EID-CT. This was confirmed by VGC analysis showing a superior visibility of nutrient canals, trabeculae and cortical bone area under the curve (AUC) > 0.89) for PCD-CT, even at half dose.Conclusions: Despite a lower CNR and increased noise, the trabecular and cortical sharpness were twofold higher with PCD-CT. Visual grading analysis demonstrated superior visibility of cortical bone, trabeculae, nutrient canals and an overall improved image quality with PCD-CT over EID-CT. At half dose, PCD-CT also yielded superior image quality, both in quantitative measures and as evaluated by radiologists.
