SUMI distillation study reports 35% SSIM gain on degraded PCCT data, but clinical benefit remains unproven

A study on SUMI, which distills photon-counting CT (PCCT) appearance from EICT data, reports 35% higher SSIM and 19% higher PSNR on degraded PCCT data, plus a 13.5-point gain in nodule-detection sensitivity. However, the study used only simulated EICT artefacts with no real paired scans, so clinical benefit and true resolution gains remain unproven.
