Plain-language summary

This pilot study evaluates the clinical utility of photon counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) in PET-CT imaging for head and neck cancer. Twenty adult patients undergoing standard-of-care PET-CT will also receive PCD-CT imaging. The study compares image quality and diagnostic confidence between conventional energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT) and PCD-CT for attenuation correction and anatomical imaging.
