The PCD-CT and EID-CT images of all myeloma lesions that were visible in clinical MRI scans were reviewed by three radiologists for corresponding OL. Additionally, the visualization of destructions to cancellous or cortical bone, and trabecular structures, was compared between PCD-CT and EID-CT.Readers detected $21\%$ more OL in PCD-CT than in EID-CT images (138 vs. 109; p < 0.0001). The sensitivity advantage of PCD-CT in lesion detection increased with decreasing lesion size. The visualization quality of cancellous and cortical destructions as well as of trabecular structures was rated higher by all three readers in PCD-CT images (mean image quality improvements for PCD-CT over EID-CT were +0.45 for cancellous and +0.13 for cortical destructions).For myeloma-associated OL, PCD-CT demonstrated significantly higher sensitivity, especially with small size. Visualization of bone tissue and lesions was considered significantly better in PCD-CT than in EID-CT. This implies that PCD-CT scanners could potentially be used in the early detection of myeloma-associated bone lesions.}, keywords = {Image quality (Other) / Lesion detection (Other) / Multiple myeloma (Other) / Osteolytic lesions (Other) / Photon-counting CT (Other)}, cin = {E010 / E025 / C060}, ddc = {610}, cid = {I:(DE-He78)E010-20160331 / I:(DE-He78)E025-20160331 / I:(DE-He78)C060-20160331}, pnm = {315 - Bildgebung und Radioonkologie (POF4-315)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-315}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pubmed = {pmid:39020050}, doi = {10.1007/s00117-024-01344-7}, url = {https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/291687}, }
