A photon counting detector model based on increment matrices to simulate statistically correct CT detector signals
Introduction Energy-selective photon counting (PC) detectors based on CdTe semiconductor sensors are of increasing interest in the medical community amongst others due to their promising CNR enhancing and material decomposition capabilities. While ideal PC detectors would offer dose saving potential compared to today's dual energy CT, in practice they perform worse. Different processes in the s...
متن کاملEnergy-resolved CT imaging with a photon-counting silicon-strip detector.
Photon-counting detectors are promising candidates for use in the next generation of x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanners. Among the foreseen benefits are higher spatial resolution, better trade-off between noise and dose and energy discriminating capabilities. Silicon is an attractive detector material because of its low cost, mature manufacturing process and high hole mobility. However, it...
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 کاملThe effects of extending the spectral information acquired by a photon-counting detector for spectral CT.
Photon-counting x-ray detectors with pulse-height analysis provide spectral information that may improve material decomposition and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in CT images. The number of energy measurements that can be acquired simultaneously on a detector pixel is equal to the number of comparator channels. Some spectral CT designs have a limited number of comparator channels, due to the co...
متن کاملQuantitative material characterization from multi-energy photon counting CT.
PURPOSE To quantify the concentration of soft-tissue components of water, fat, and calcium through the decomposition of the x-ray spectral signatures in multi-energy CT images. METHODS Decomposition of dual-energy and multi-energy x-ray data into basis materials can be performed in the projection domain, image domain, or during image reconstruction. In this work, the authors present methodolo...
