Knowledge Check 1 of 2 What are the disadvantages of an EID? ? Reflecting septa create artifacts on reconstructed images. Reflecting septa create dead spaces. Using a UHR comb filter requires a higher radiation dose. There are no disadvantages. Knowledge Check 1 Incorrect The disadvantages of an EID are: Reflecting septa create dead spaces. And using a UHR comb filter requires a higher radiation dose.

Energy-Integrating Detector (EID) Photon-Counting Detector (PCD) Image courtesy of Hospital ICP, Lille, France ? Example of Photon-Counting Imaging Select 2 answers. Knowledge Check 2 of 2 What are the advantages of a PCD? ? Because of the detector material, a crystal semiconductor, there is no need for a UHR comb filter. Because of the detector material, a crystal semiconductor, you still need a UHR comb filter but less radiation. Smaller detector elements create no dead spaces. Smaller detector elements count photons individually. Knowledge Check 2 Incorrect The advantages of a PCD are: Since based on a crystal semi-conductor, there is no need for a UHR comb filter. And smaller detector elements count photons individually.
