When combined with artificial intelligence-based noise reduction techniques, new photon-counting CT technology can increase the detection of bone disease while also decreasing radiation exposure. 

The new guidance offers a validation template that can assist test developers in submitting an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) request.
