Influence of Resolution on Scanner Noise Perceptibility
The perceptibility of scanner noise as a function of resolution is studied using a model for the human visual system and for the scanner noise. The visual system is modeled using a point-wise nonlinearity followed by a lightness contrast-sensitivity-function. The noise model incorporates a signal-dependent noise component and a signal-independent noise component. The system is analyzed to deter...
متن کاملToward a Flexible and Portable CT Scanner
The very hot and power-hungry x-ray filaments in today's computed tomography (CT) scanners constrain their design to be big and stationary. What if we built a CT scanner that could be deployed at the scene of a car accident to acquire tomographic images before moving the victim? Recent developments in nanotechnology have shown that carbon nanotubes can produce x-rays at room temperature, and wi...
متن کاملImplementation of quadratic dose protocol for 18F-FDG whole-body PET imaging using a BGO-based PET/CT scanner, GE Discovery ST
Introduction: The ability of quadratic dose protocol to maintain a good quality image for an overweight and obese patient is well reported. However, a practical approach to the implementation of this protocol in whole-body imaging in Malaysia is currently lacking. Hence, the aim of this study is to derive the quadratic dose formula that suits our PET system. Metho...
متن کاملPET/CT scanner instrumentation, challenges, and solutions.
PET/CT scanners offer a hardware solution for aligning and viewing functional and anatomic images that is immune to many of the errors in strictly software registration techniques. Moreover, PET attenuation-corrected emission scans benefit from the use of the onboard CT for fast, low-noise attenuation correction. Along with the significant improved localization and reduced acquisition time, PET...
متن کاملDosimetric evaluation of a 320 detector row CT scanner unit
BACKGROUND The technologic improvements in Multislice scanners include the increment in the X-ray beam width. Some new CT scanners are equipped with a 320 detector row which allows a longitudinal coverage of 160 mm and a total of 640 slices for a single rotation. When such parameters are used the length of the traditional pencil chamber (10 cm) is no more appropriate to measure the standard wei...
