• The bone-implant interface ex vivo showed superior visualization using photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) compared to energy-integrating detector computed tomography. • Harder reconstruction kernels in PCD-CT provide sharper images with lower noise levels. • These improvements in imaging might make it possible to visualize osseointegration in vivo.
