AbstractID: 12899 Title: Dosimetric Characterization of a Dedicated Breast Computed Tomography Clinical Prototype System
ID: 12899 Title: Dosimetric Characterization of a Dedicated Breast Computed Tomography Clinical Prototype System Purpose: To determine the radiation dosimetry characteristics of a dedicated breast computed tomography (BCT) clinical prototype system. Method and Materials: The relevant parameters of the BCT system were replicated in a Monte Carlo simulation program based on the Geant4 toolkit. To...
متن کاملGeneration of polychromatic projection for dedicated breast computed tomography simulation using anthropomorphic numerical phantom
Numerical simulations are fundamental to the development of medical imaging systems because they can save time and effort in research and development. In this study, we developed a method of creating the virtual projection images that are necessary to study dedicated breast computed tomography (BCT) systems. Anthropomorphic software breast phantoms of the conventional compression type were synt...
متن کاملBasic principles of cone beam computed tomography.
At the end of the millennium, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) heralded a new dental technology for the next century. Owing to the dramatic and positive impact of CBCT on implant dentistry and orthognathic/orthodontic patient care, additional applications for this technology soon evolved. New software programs were developed to improve the applicability of, and access to, CBCT for dental pa...
متن کاملBasic principles of computed axial tomography.
Computer tomography (CT) is a radiological imaging method which yields transverse tomographic images reflecting with high accuracy the spatial distribution of x-ray attenuation in the part examined. The contrast resolution achieved by CT permits the visualization of soft tissue structure heretofore invisible with conventional radiographic procedure. The CT image is reconstructed by a computer a...
متن کاملSingle Photon Emission Computed Tomography as a diagnostic method in ischemic heart disease – basic technical aspects
Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) poses an important diagnostic problem. Clinical picture of the disease is often atypical. SPECT is one of the main diagnostic tools in ischemic heart disease. Radioisotope study evaluates distribution of a radiopharmaceutical agent in the heart through a series of scintigraphic images taken by an external gamma camera. This article discusses the technical aspects of...
