Diagnostic Performance and Clinical Impact of Photon-Counting Detector Computed Tomography in Coronary Artery Disease | JACC Baran

In this week's JACC Baran (Episode 4), hosts Mitsuaki Sawano (JACC EAE) and Shun Kohsaka (JACC Regional Editor) welcome Dr. Koshiro Sakai to discuss the 2025 revised ACS guidelines and Photon-Counting CT (PCD-CT). A retrospective cohort study of 7,500 cases suggested an association between PCD-CT and enhanced diagnostic accuracy, with potential implications for reducing unnecessary invasive catheterization procedures. The episode also highlights global research perspectives and the importance of clear scientific communication.
