Start Disclaimer Welcome time [ns] PCD pulse-height [keV] Iodine Virtual non-calcium Additional information in a CT scan Select the best answer. ? Because it has pre-installed special scan modes. Because it is faster than an EID. Knowledge Check 1 of 2 Why can a PCD show more information on a CT scan than an EID? Because it can measure the energy of each photon. Because it makes compromises and is slower than an EID. Knowledge Check 1 Incorrect A PCD can show more information than an EID, because it can measure the energy of each photon. Correct Energy Bins PCD Imaging Move the slider to see PCD scans of Cardiac Mono Energetic, Cardiac Pure Lumen, Cardiac Pure Calcium and of a Cardiac Iodine Map. ? Cardiac Mono Energetic Cardiac Pure Lumen Cardiac Pure Calcium Cardiac Iodine Map Images courtesy of Centre Cardio-Thoracique de Monaco, Monaco Example of EID vs. PCD Imaging PCD Imaging Move the slider to see the lung scan by a PCD in mono-energetic, VNC and PBV color. ? mono-energetic VNC PBV color Example of EID vs. PCD Imaging Image courtesy of Hospital ICP, Lille, France Image courtesy of Hospital ICP, Lille, France Image courtesy of Hospital ICP, Lille, France Select 2 answers. Knowledge Check 2 of 2 What are the advantages of Intrinsic Spectral Sensitivity as provided by a PCD? ? Mono-energetic images are available in every examination. The PCD shows one additional color spectrum. The PCD allows material differentiation in the scans. The PCD shows black and white scans with high contrast. Knowledge Check 3 The advantages of Intrinsic Spectral Sensitivity as provided by a PCD are: Mono-energetic images are available in every examina-tion. And the PCD allows material differentiation in the scans.
