Geometric Parameters Estimation and Calibration in Cone-Beam Micro-CT
The quality of Computed Tomography (CT) images crucially depends on the precise knowledge of the scanner geometry. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate and calibrate the misalignments before image acquisition. In this paper, a Two-Piece-Ball (TPB) phantom is used to estimate a set of parameters that describe the geometry of a cone-beam CT system. Only multiple projections of the TPB phantom a...
متن کاملA geometrical calibration method for the PIXSCAN micro-CT scanner
Reconstruction in Cone-Beam Tomography can suffer from artifacts due to geometrical misalignments of the source-detector system. They can be avoided by a complete and precise description of the system. We present a high precision method for the geometric calibration for the PIXSCAN, a small animal X-ray CT scanner demonstrator based on hybrid pixel detectors (XPAD2). The specificities of the XP...
متن کاملGECARO: A System for the GEometric CAlibration of RObots
This paper presents a software package for the simulation and the practical calibration of the geometric parameters of robots. This system which is called GECARO, GEometric CAlibration of RObots, contains a large variety of methods to identify the geometric parameters of robots. GECARO is running on PC computers and developed using MATLAB; any general serial robot can be treated directly. The i...
متن کاملOptimization of scanner parameters for dual energy micro-CT
Two materials of different composition can have very similar grey values in an X-ray Computed Tomography (CT). This is because X-ray CT uses polychromatic sources in combination with energy-integrating detectors and the materials have a mass attenuation coefficient that is dependent on composition and photon energy. A distinction between different materials with similar grey values can be made ...
متن کاملDual-Energy CT for the Musculoskeletal System.
The principal advantages of dual-energy computed tomography (CT) over conventional CT in the musculoskeletal setting relate to the additional information provided regarding tissue composition, artifact reduction, and image optimization. This article discusses the manifestations of these in clinical practice-urate and bone marrow edema detection, metal artifact reduction, and tendon analysis, wi...
