Spectral Computed Tomography with a Photon-Counting Silicon-Strip Detector
Computed tomography (CT) is a widely used medical imaging modality. By rotating an x-ray tube and an x-ray detector around the patient, a CT scanner is able to measure the x-ray transmission from all directions and form an image of the patient’s interior. CT scanners in clinical use today all use energy-integrating detectors, which measure the total incident energy for each measurement interval...
متن کاملCharacterization and Energy Calibration of a Silicon-Strip Detector for Photon-Counting Spectral Computed Tomography
Multibin photon-counting x-ray detectors are promising candidates to be applied in next generation computed tomography (CT), whereby energy information from a broad x-ray spectrum can be extracted and properly used for improving image quality and correspondingly reducing radiation dose. A silicon-strip detector has been developed for spectral CT, which operates in photon-counting mode and allow...
متن کاملPhoton -counting Reticontm Detector
For applications in faint -object spectroscopy at the Mt. Hopkins Observatory, a photon counting detector has been built using a dual 936 Reticon diode array fibre -optically coupled to a high -gain image intensifier package. The electronic signal processing follows closely the design of Shectman; the diode array is scanned every millisecond, each frame is subtracted from the previous to minimi...
متن کاملSmall-angle scatter tomography with a photon-counting detector array.
Small-angle x-ray scatter imaging has a high intrinsic contrast in cancer research and other applications, and provides information on molecular composition and micro-structure of the tissue. In general, the implementations of small-angle coherent scatter imaging can be divided into two main categories: direct tomography and angular dispersive computerized tomography. Based on the recent develo...
متن کاملEnhanced Spatial Resolution Using Iterative Focal Desmearing in Computed Tomography
Computed tomography reconstructions of projected data usually assume an ideal point-like focal spot. However, in practice, the actual finite focus size leads to blurred projections, unavoidably. The elements (voxels) of the reconstruction array are smeared differently as a function of their individual position relative to source and detector. Neglecting the focal smearing generates considerably...
