๐ฉป About the Project
Photon-counting CT (PCCT) is opening new possibilities for chest imaging, offering ultra-high-resolution images and spectral information that could transform how we assess pulmonary and vascular diseases. This PhD project will investigate the clinical potential of PCCT in chest imaging โ identifying key clinical applications, exploring promising patient populations, and testing early hypotheses on the value of spectral and super-high-resolution imaging. Working closely with clinicians and technical researchers, you'll help lay the groundwork for future large-scale clinical studies.
