61-year-old male, post lung transplant, who underwent photon-counting detector CT of chest in ultra-high-resolution mode

Caption

Reconstructions were performed at 0.2-mm slice thickness with BI56 kernel (A), BI60 kernel (B), and BI64 kernel (C); at 0.4-mm slice thickness with BI56 kernel (D), BI60 kernel (E), and BI64 kernel (F); and at 1.0-mm slice thickness with BI56 kernel (G), BI60 kernel (H), and BI64 kernel (I). Clinical-reference reconstruction (BI64 kernel at 1.0-mm slice thickness) is shown with red outline in lower right (I). Small bronchus with wall discontinuity, corresponding to origin of bronchial division, is well visualized on reconstructions at 0.2-mm and 0.4-mm slice thickness with Bl60 and Bl64 kernels (arrows), but not on clinical-reference reconstruction. All images displayed with window of -400 HU and level of 1400 HU.
