dc.description.abstract | Background Photon-counting detector (PCD) CT enables ultra-high-resolution lung imaging and may shed light on morphologic correlates of persistent symptoms after COVID-19. Purpose To compare PCD CT with energy-integrating detector (EID) CT for noninvasive assessment of post-COVID-19 lung abnormalities. Materials and Methods For this prospective study, adult participants with one or more COVID-19-related persisting symptoms (resting or exertional dyspnea, cough, fatigue) underwent same-day EID and PCD CT between April 2022 and June 2022. The 1.0-mm EID CT images and, subsequently, 1.0-, 0.4-, and 0.2-mm PCD CT images were reviewed for the presence of lung abnormalities. Subjective and objective EID and PCD CT image quality were evaluated using a five-point Likert scale (-2 to 2) and lung signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Results Twenty participants (mean age, 54 years ± 16 [SD]; 10 men) were included. EID CT showed post-COVID-19 lung abnormalities in 15 of 20 (75%) participants, with a median involvement of 10% of lung volume [IQR, 0%-45%] and 3.5 lobes [IQR, 0-5]. Ground-glass opacities and linear bands (10 of 20 participants [50%] for both) were the most frequent findings at EID CT. PCD CT revealed additional lung abnormalities in 10 of 20 (50%) participants, with the most common being bronchiectasis (10 of 20 [50%]). Subjective image quality was improved for 1.0-mm PCD versus 1.0-mm EID CT images (median, 1; IQR, 1-2; P < .001) and 0.4-mm versus 1.0-mm PCD CT images (median, 1; IQR, 1-1; P < .001) but not for 0.4-mm versus 0.2-mm PCD CT images (median, 0; IQR, 0-0.5; P = .26). PCD CT delivered higher lung SNR versus EID CT for 1.0-mm images (mean difference, 0.53 ± 0.96; P = .03) but lower SNR for 0.4-mm versus 1.0-mm images and 0.2-mm vs 0.4-mm images (-1.52 ± 0.68 [P < .001] and -1.15 ± 0.43 [P < .001], respectively). Conclusion Photon-counting detector CT outperformed energy-integrating detector CT in the visualization of subtle post-COVID-19 lung abnormalities and image quality. © RSNA, 2023 Supplemental material is available for this article. | en_US |
