Photon counting spectroscopic CT with dynamic beam attenuator
Purpose: Photon counting (PC) computed tomography (CT) can provide material selective CT imaging at lowest patient dose but it suffers from suboptimal count rate. A dynamic beam attenuator (DBA) can help with count rate by modulating x-ray beam intensity such that the low attenuating areas of the patient receive lower exposure, and detector behind these areas is not overexposed. However, DBA ma...
متن کاملMolecular Imaging in Breast Cancer: From Whole-Body PET/CT to Dedicated Breast PET
Positron emission tomography (PET), with or without integrated computed tomography (CT), using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is based on the principle of elevated glucose metabolism in malignant tumors, and its use in breast cancer patients is frequently being investigated. It has been shown useful for classification, staging, and response monitoring, both in primary and recurrent disease. Howev...
متن کاملDesign Space Exploration for Heterogeneous Multi Multi-Core Processor Dedicated Systems
This work faces the problem of the HW/SW co-design of dedicated systems based on heterogeneous multi multi-core processor architectures. In particular, it proposes an extension of a previous system-level design space exploration (DSE) approach able to suggest to the designer an HW/SW partitioning of the system specification and a mapping of the partitioned entities onto an automatically selecte...
متن کاملDesign and Optimization of a Dedicated Cone-Beam CT System for Musculoskeletal Extremities Imaging
The design, initial imaging performance, and model-based optimization of a dedicated cone-beam CT (CBCT) scanner for musculoskeletal extremities is presented. The system offers a compact scanner that complements conventional CT and MR by providing sub-mm isotropic spatial resolution, the ability to image weight-bearing extremities, and the capability for integrated real-time fluoroscopy and dig...
متن کاملA dedicated cone-beam CT system for musculoskeletal extremities imaging: design, optimization, and initial performance characterization.
PURPOSE This paper reports on the design and initial imaging performance of a dedicated cone-beam CT (CBCT) system for musculoskeletal (MSK) extremities. The system complements conventional CT and MR and offers a variety of potential clinical and logistical advantages that are likely to be of benefit to diagnosis, treatment planning, and assessment of therapy response in MSK radiology, orthopae...
