Spectral Computed Tomography with a Photon-Counting Silicon-Strip Detector
Computed tomography (CT) is a widely used medical imaging modality. By rotating an x-ray tube and an x-ray detector around the patient, a CT scanner is able to measure the x-ray transmission from all directions and form an image of the patient’s interior. CT scanners in clinical use today all use energy-integrating detectors, which measure the total incident energy for each measurement interval...
متن کاملSimultaneous dual-contrast multi-phase liver imaging using spectral photon-counting computed tomography: a proof-of-concept study
Background: To assess the feasibility of dual-contrast spectral photon-counting computed tomography (SPCCT) for liver imaging. Methods: We present an SPCCT in-silico study for simultaneous mapping of the complementary distribution in the liver of two contrast agents (CAs) subsequently intravenously injected: a gadolinium-based contrast agent and an iodine-based contrast agent. Four types of sim...
متن کاملCharacterization and Energy Calibration of a Silicon-Strip Detector for Photon-Counting Spectral Computed Tomography
Multibin photon-counting x-ray detectors are promising candidates to be applied in next generation computed tomography (CT), whereby energy information from a broad x-ray spectrum can be extracted and properly used for improving image quality and correspondingly reducing radiation dose. A silicon-strip detector has been developed for spectral CT, which operates in photon-counting mode and allow...
متن کاملEvaluation of models of spectral distortions in photon-counting detectors for computed tomography.
A semi-analytical model describing spectral distortions in photon-counting detectors (PCDs) for clinical computed tomography was evaluated using simulated data. The distortions were due to count rate-independent spectral response effects and count rate-dependent pulse-pileup effects and the model predicted both the mean count rates and the spectral shape. The model parameters were calculated us...
متن کاملOptimization of beam quality for photon-counting spectral computed tomography in head imaging: simulation study.
Head computed tomography (CT) plays an important role in the comprehensive evaluation of acute stroke. Photon-counting spectral detectors, as promising candidates for use in the next generation of x-ray CT systems, allow for assigning more weight to low-energy x-rays that generally contain more contrast information. Most importantly, the spectral information can be utilized to decompose the ori...
