Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Evaluate feasibility of the photon-counting CT in a clinical setting. [1 year]
The primary objective of this study is to collect and evaluate raw CT scan data collected using the photon-counting CT.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Collect feedback on performance and images generated on the photon-counting CT. [1 year]
Gather feedback on the performance and image quality of the reconstructed images produced by using the photon-counting CT.
