X-Ray Scatter Correction on Soft Tissue Images for Portable Cone Beam CT.
Soft tissue images from portable cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanners can be used for diagnosis and detection of tumor, cancer, intracerebral hemorrhage, and so forth. Due to large field of view, X-ray scattering which is the main cause of artifacts degrades image quality, such as cupping artifacts, CT number inaccuracy, and low contrast, especially on soft tissue images. In this work,...
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...
متن کاملScatter analysis and correction for ultrafast X-ray tomography.
Ultrafast X-ray computed tomography (CT) is an imaging technique with high potential for the investigation of the hydrodynamics in multiphase flows. For correct determination of the phase distribution of such flows, a high accuracy of the reconstructed image data is essential. In X-ray CT, radiation scatter may cause disturbing artefacts. As the scattering is not considered in standard reconstr...
متن کاملA novel dual energy CT-based attenuation correction method in PET/CT systems: A phantom study
In present PET/CT scanners, PET attenuation correction is performed by relying on the information given by CT scan. In the CT-based attenuation correction methods, dual-energy technique (DECT) is the most accurate approach, which has been limited due to the increasing patient dose. In this feasibility study, we have introduced a new method that can implement dual-en...
متن کاملHybrid scatter correction for CT imaging.
The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the hybrid scatter correction algorithm (HSC) for CT imaging. Therefore, two established ways to perform scatter correction, i.e. physical scatter correction based on Monte Carlo simulations and a convolution-based scatter correction algorithm, were combined in order to perform an object-dependent, fast and accurate scatter correction. Based...
