A novel dual energy CT-based attenuation correction method in PET/CT systems: A phantom study
In present PET/CT scanners, PET attenuation correction is performed by relying on the information given by CT scan. In the CT-based attenuation correction methods, dual-energy technique (DECT) is the most accurate approach, which has been limited due to the increasing patient dose. In this feasibility study, we have introduced a new method that can implement dual-en...
متن کاملEnergy-Dependent Systematic Errors in Dual-Energy X-Ray CT
Dual-energy X-ray computed tomography (DECT) is a technique which is designed to allow the determination of energy-independent material properties. In this study, results of a computer simulation show that energy-dependent systematic errors exist in the values of attenuation coefficients synthesized using the basis material decomposition technique with acrylic and aluminum as the basis material...
متن کاملA Model-Based Iterative Algorithm for Dual-Energy X-Ray CT Reconstruction
Recent developments in dual-energy X-ray CT have shown a number of benefits over standard CT for object separation, contrast enhancement, artifact reduction, and material composition assessment. As with traditional CT, model-based iterative approaches to reconstruction offer the opportunity to reduce noise and artifacts in dual energy reconstructions. However, previous approaches to model-based...

متن کاملTowards Beam Hardening Correction for Polychromatic X-ray Ct
High-attenuation object-induced streaking and shadow artifacts in computerized tomography (CT) are somewhat connected to the misfit of the X-ray projection data to the range space of the Radon transform. This misfit is mainly due to the beam hardening factor of the projection data which is unavoidable for polychromatic sources. The major difficulty in dealing with the beam hardening-induced str...
