Photon counting CT book released
We are very excited that our photon counting CT book has finally been released! A total of 21 chapters written by excellent authors outline the state of the art and futuristic visions of various topics from detectors/ASICs to algorithms to clinical applications. The three editors including me as well as the chapter authors are very proud of the scientific quality and the practical value of the book. A copy is available at the following links.
