Scatter correction for cone-beam CT in radiation therapy.
Cone-beam CT (CBCT) is being increasingly used in modern radiation therapy for patient setup and adaptive replanning. However, due to the large volume of x-ray illumination, scatter becomes a rather serious problem and is considered as one of the fundamental limitations of CBCT image quality. Many scatter correction algorithms have been proposed in literature, while a standard practical solutio...
متن کاملNoise suppression in scatter correction for cone-beam CT.
Scatter correction is crucial to the quality of reconstructed images in x-ray cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Most of existing scatter correction methods assume smooth scatter distributions. The high-frequency scatter noise remains in the projection images even after a perfect scatter correction. In this paper, using a clinical CBCT system and a measurement-based scatter correction, the a...
متن کاملBeam Attenuation Grid–Based Scatter Correction Algorithm for Cone Beam Volume CT
In the flat panel detector-based cone beam CT system, the scatter photons which reach the flat panel detector increase the detected signal, produce the image cupping artifact and reduce the image contrast. To conquer the X-Ray scatter problem, this study proposes the beam attenuation grid -based scatter correction algorithm that needs to add a beam attenuation grid (BAG) between the X-Ray sourc...
متن کاملFeasibility of improving cone‐beam CT number consistency using a scatter correction algorithm
The study was to explore the feasibility of improving cone-beam CT (CBCT) number (corresponding to the Hounsfield units in computed tomography) consistency using a scatter-correction algorithm, with the aim of using CBCT images for treatment planning with density correction. A scatter correction algorithm was applied to a Varian OBI CBCT and an Elekta XVI CBCT, and was evaluated for improving C...
متن کاملA megavoltage scatter correction technique for cone-beam CT images acquired during VMAT delivery.
Kilovoltage cone-beam CT (kV CBCT) can be acquired during the delivery of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), in order to obtain an image of the patient during treatment. However, the quality of such CBCTs is degraded by megavoltage (MV) scatter from the treatment beam onto the imaging panel. The objective of this paper is to introduce a novel MV scatter correction method for simultaneous ...
