Figure 4:

Line profiles of mean intensity images in a 5-mm phantom with three plaque components. The line profiles of energy-integrating detector (EID), photon-counting CT (PCCT), and high-resolution PCCT (HR-PCCT) for the three modes are shown. HR-PCCT shows less metal artifact and better representation of internal plaque components as seen in the middle of the image.
