Photon-counting CT (PCCT), approved for clinical practice for over two years now, both improves on features of conventional energy-integrating detector (EID) CT and introduces new capabilities such as multienergy acquisition. PCCT is already transforming all domains of radiology, including head and neck imaging, and will become increasingly utilized in the approaching years. In this review, we first concisely explain the key physical principles distinguishing PCCT from EID-CT.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to describe the cochlear apex's anatomy to assist surgeons during apical electrode placement for cochlear implants, enhancing procedural success.
- Utilizing a retrospective analysis of 82 CT scans, the researchers measured distances from key middle ear landmarks to the cochlear apex, finding significant variability in anatomy.
- A new "stapes vector" was identified as a reliable reference point for locating the cochlear apex, which could improve surgical accuracy and minimize damage during procedures.
Photon-counting detectors (PCDs) represent a major milestone in the evolution of CT imaging. CT scanners using PCD systems have already been shown to generate images with substantially greater spatial resolution, superior iodine contrast-to-noise ratio, and reduced artifact compared with conventional energy-integrating detector-based systems. These benefits can be achieved with considerably decreased radiation dose.
