Photon-counting CT of elbow joint fractures: image quality in a simulated post-trauma setting with off-center positioning.

• Photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) preserved high image quality in elbow imaging with off-center positions. • PCD-CT was advantageous for bone evaluation in trauma elbows. • PCD-CT ultra-high-resolution mode and very sharp reconstruction kernels facilitated higher image quality.
