Micro-computed tomography-guided, non-equal voxel Monte Carlo method for reconstruction of fluorescence molecular tomography.
The study of dual-modality technology which combines microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) and fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) has become one of the main focuses in FMT. However, because of the diversity of the optical properties and irregular geometry for small animals, a reconstruction method that can effectively utilize the high-resolution structural information of micro-CT for tissue ...
متن کاملReconstruction for proton computed tomography by tracing proton trajectories: a Monte Carlo study.
Proton computed tomography (pCT) has been explored in the past decades because of its unique imaging characteristics, low radiation dose, and its possible use for treatment planning and on-line target localization in proton therapy. However, reconstruction of pCT images is challenging because the proton path within the object to be imaged is statistically affected by multiple Coulomb scattering...
متن کاملThorax organ dose estimation in computed tomography based on patient CT data using Monte Carlo simulation
Background: This study presents patient specific and organ dose estimation in computed tomography (CT) imaging of thorax directly from patient CT image using Monte Carlo simulation. Patient's CT image is considered as the patient specific phantom and the best representative of patient physical index in order to calculate specific organ dose. Materials and Methods: EGSnrc /BEAMnr...
متن کاملImage Optimization in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography by Hardware Modifications with Monte Carlo Simulation
Introduction: In Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), the projection data used for image reconstruction are distorted by several factors, including attenuation and scattering of gamma rays, collimator structure, data acquisition method, organ motion, and washout of radiopharmaceuticals. All these make reconstruction of a quantitative SPECT image very difficult. Simulation of a SP...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of a computed tomography x-ray tube.
The dose delivered to patients during computed tomography (CT) exams has increased in the past decade. With the increasing complexity of CT examinations, measurement of the dose becomes more difficult and more important. In some cases, the standard methods, such as measurement of the computed tomography dose index (CTDI), are currently under question. One approach to determine the dose from CT ...
