Photon-counting detector CT – first experiences in the field of musculoskeletal radiology

Stefanie Bette, Franka Risch, Judith Becker et al.

The introduction of photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) marks a remarkable leap in innovation in CT imaging. Initial data show high spatial resolution, complete elimination of electronic noise, and steady availability of spectral image data sets. In particular, the new technology shows promise with respect to the imaging of osseous structures. This review summarizes recent studies and first experiences of the authors with photon-counting detector technology in the field of musculoskeletal radiology.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension – a spinal disease

Charlotte Zander, Katharina Wolf, Amir El Rahal et al.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) remains an underdiagnosed condition. Diagnosis can be delayed by the broad clinical presentation and imaging pitfalls. This results in a high degree of physical impairment for patients, including social and psychological sequelae as well as long-term damage in the case of delayed diagnosis and treatment. This paper provides an overview of the diagnostic workup of patients with suspected SIH and new developments in imaging and therapy.
