      abstract = {Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) has found  widespread use as a diagnostic imaging tool, with contrast  used in approximately 60% of all CT scans. Dual-Energy CT  (DECT) offers improvements to standard CT contrast imaging,  particularly through material differentiation which  improves diagnostic criteria and makes virtual non-contrast  imaging possible. Photon-Counting CT (PCCT) improves upon  DECT with the use of multiple adjustable energy-thresholds.  This technology promises better material differentiation,  multi-contrast imaging, increased CNR, reduced dose for  maintained image quality, and material-specific K-edge  imaging, but optimization of PCCT protocols is needed in  order to maximize these benefits.},
