Dual energy computed tomography for explosive detection
Single energy computed tomography (CT) scanners use measurements of densities to detect explosives in luggage. It is desirable to apply dual energy techniques to these CT scanners to obtain atomic number measurements to reduce false alarm rates. However, the direct application of existing dual energy techniques has practical problems, such as, approximation errors and lack of boundary constrain...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Dual Energy Computed Tomography
Introduction The idea of computed tomography (CT) was first introduced in the 1960’s with the development of modern computer technology. The first scanners were commercially available in the 1970’s, and grew in popularity through the 1980’s. The innovation of helical-scanning CT produced true volume imaging with sub-millimeter resolution. CT can be used for both anatomical as well as pathologic...
متن کاملTargeted Silver Nanoparticles for Dual-Energy Breast X-Ray Imaging
Silver nanoaprticles have been investigated as an alternative to iodinein dual-energy breast x-ray imaging. Dual-energy imaging involves acquiringimages at two distinct energy windows (low and high). Weighting factors arethen applied to create an image where the contrast between background tissueshas been suppressed. Silver (Ag) represents an attractive contrast material due...
متن کاملHybrid nanoprobes of bismuth sulfide nanoparticles and CdSe/ZnS quantum dots for mouse computed tomography/fluorescence dual mode imaging
BACKGROUND X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging can be used to reveal the three-dimensional structure of deep tissue with high spatial resolution. However, it cannot reveal molecular or cellular changes, and has great limitations in terms of specificity and sensitivity. Fluorescence imaging technology is one of the main methods used for the study of molecular events in vivo and has important ...
متن کاملApplication of Dual-Energy Computed Tomography for Breast Cancer Diagnosis
The present study aimed to investigate the possibility of using dual-energy computed tomography (CT) before therapy to discriminate between normal breast tissue and tumor tissue in patients with breast cancer, without the need to use a contrast medium. The following patient data were extracted by interview and from the hospital’s radiology information system: height, weight, age, menstrual cycl...
