Spectral Mammography with X-Ray Optics and a Photon-Counting Detector
Early detection is vital to successfully treating breast cancer, and mammography screening is the most efficient and wide-spread method to reach this goal. Imaging low-contrast targets, while minimizing the radiation exposure to a large population is, however, a major challenge. Optimizing the image quality per unit radiation dose is therefore essential. In this thesis, two optimization schemes...
متن کاملEnergy Calibration of a CdTe Photon Counting Spectral Detector with Consideration of its Non-Convergent Behavior
Fast and accurate energy calibration of photon counting spectral detectors (PCSDs) is essential for their biomedical applications to identify and characterize bio-components or contrast agents in tissues. Using the x-ray tube voltage as a reference for energy calibration is known to be an efficient method, but there has been no consideration in the energy calibration of non-convergent behavior ...
متن کاملPhase contrast X - ray imaging
In the last decade X-ray imaging based on phase contrast greatly advanced thanks to the use of unmonochromatic synchrotron hard X-rays. The recent advances are going beyond microradiology and microtomography to reach nanometre scale. This paper reviews basic theory and selected applications to biomedical and materials sciences. The forthcoming improvements in phase contrast X-ray imaging will l...
متن کاملPhase-Contrast X-ray imaging
Virtually all X-rays imaging in a medical or biological context is performed by measuring differences in the attenuation of X-rays by the tissues. The material properties are inferred from the differences in the number of photons detected at the end of defined paths in the sample. Naturally then this form of X-ray imaging concentrates almost entirely on the particle side of X-ray behaviour. The...
متن کاملX-ray Imaging Using a Hybrid Photon Counting GaAs Pixel Detector
The performance of hybrid GaAs pixel detectors as X-ray imaging sensors were investigated at room temperature. These hybrids consist of 300 μm thick GaAs pixel detectors, flip-chip bonded to a CMOS Single Photon Counting Chip (PCC). This chip consists of a matrix of 64 x 64 identical square pixels (170 μm x 170 μm) and covers a total area of 1.2 cm. The electronics in each cell comprises a prea...
