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 کاملAn efficient Monte Carlo-based algorithm for scatter correction in keV cone-beam CT.
A new method is proposed for scatter-correction of cone-beam CT images. A coarse reconstruction is used in initial iteration steps. Modelling of the x-ray tube spectra and detector response are included in the algorithm. Photon diffusion inside the imaging subject is calculated using the Monte Carlo method. Photon scoring at the detector is calculated using forced detection to a fixed set of no...
متن کاملA simple, direct method for x-ray scatter estimation and correction in digital radiography and cone-beam CT.
X-ray scatter poses a significant limitation to image quality in cone-beam CT (CBCT), resulting in contrast reduction, image artifacts, and lack of CT number accuracy. We report the performance of a simple scatter correction method in which scatter fluence is estimated directly in each projection from pixel values near the edge of the detector behind the collimator leaves. The algorithm operate...
