Novel Photon-Counting CT Improves Myeloma Bone Disease Detection

Caption

Images in a 60-year-old woman with multiple myeloma. Two-millimeter noncontrast-enhanced axial energy-integrating detector CT image (left), 2-mm noncontrast-enhanced axial photon-counting detector (PCD) CT image (center), and noncontrast-enhanced axial 0.6-mm PCD CT image (right) show representative pathologic myeloma-induced healing pathologic fracture through the lower sternum. Cortical irregularity is evident on all three reconstruction images; however, the associated callus is only visible on the 0.6-mm PCD CT reconstruction image (right; arrow).
