Material decomposition using neural network for photon counting detector
Most current CT systems use energy-integrating detectors (EIDs), which detect total energy over a period of time. So, the energy information of each photon is lost in this process. In contrast, photon counting detectors (PCDs) detect individual photons and discriminate them into multiple energy bins. From this energy information, PCDs gain an improvement in CT image quality, provide better tiss...
متن کاملA unified statistical framework for material decomposition using multienergy photon counting x-ray detectors.
PURPOSE Material decomposition using multienergy photon counting x-ray detectors (PCXD) has been an active research area over the past few years. Even with some success, the problem of optimal energy selection and three material decomposition including malignant tissue is still on going research topic, and more systematic studies are required. This paper aims to address this in a unified statis...
متن کاملCalibration methods influence quantitative material decomposition in photon-counting spectral CT
Photon-counting detectors and nanoparticle contrast agents can potentially enable molecular imaging and material decomposition in computed tomography (CT). Material decomposition has been investigated using both simulated and acquired data sets. However, the effect of calibration methods on material decomposition has not been systematically investigated. Therefore, the objective of this study w...
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...
متن کاملQuantitative material decomposition method for spectral CT imaging
Spectral CT is a promising new imaging modality that is able to provide spectral information of several pre-selected energy ranges in one image acquisition, which allows quantitative decomposition of multiple materials. In addition to conventional reconstruction, novel decomposition techniques should be developed to realize material separation. Decomposition of multienergy X-ray data into basis...
