Detection of myeloma-associated osteolytic bone lesions with energy-integrating and photon-counting detector CT.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A recent innovation in computed tomography (CT) imaging has been the introduction of photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) systems, which are able to register the number and the energy level of incoming x‑ray photons and have smaller detector elements compared with conventional CT scanners that operate with energy-integrating detectors (EID-CT).

Objectives

The study aimed to evaluate the potential benefits of a novel, non-CE certified PCD-CT in detecting myeloma-associated osteolytic bone lesions (OL) compared with a state-of-the-art EID-CT.

Materials and methods

Nine patients with multiple myeloma stage III (according to Durie and Salmon) underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), EID-CT, and PCD-CT of the lower lumbar spine and pelvis. The PCD-CT and EID-
