Validation of a Low Dose Simulation Technique for Computed Tomography Images
PURPOSE Evaluation of a new software tool for generation of simulated low-dose computed tomography (CT) images from an original higher dose scan. MATERIALS AND METHODS Original CT scan data (100 mAs, 80 mAs, 60 mAs, 40 mAs, 20 mAs, 10 mAs; 100 kV) of a swine were acquired (approved by the regional governmental commission for animal protection). Simulations of CT acquisition with a lower dose ...
متن کاملValidation of computed tomography-based attenuation correction of deviation between theoretical and actual values for four computed tomography scanners
Objective: In this study, we aimed to validate the accuracy of computed tomography-based attenuation correction (CTAC) using the bilinear scaling method.Methods: The measured attenuation coefficient (μm) was compared to a theoretical attenuation coefficient (μt ) using four different CT scanners and an RMI 467 phantom. The effective energy of the CT beam X-rays was calculated, using the aluminu...
متن کاملA Framework for Unsupervised Segmentation of Lung Tissues from Low Dose Computed Tomography Images
New techniques for more accurate unsupervised segmentation of lung tissues from Low Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) are proposed. In this paper we describe LDCT images and desired maps of regions (lung and the other chest tissues) by a joint Markov-Gibbs random field model (MGRF) of independent image signals and interdependent region labels but focus on most accurate model identification. To be...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Liver Phantom Based on Computed Tomography Images for Dosimetric Purpose
Introduction: The present study was conducted with the aim of designing a liver phantom for dosimetry. To benchmark the results obtained by the developed liver phantom, another method was applied for the dosimetry of a real liver tissue using imaging. Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the study, a real liver tissue was converted into a phantom based on thegram-molecular weight of the co...
متن کاملA sinogram denoising algorithm for low-dose computed tomography
BACKGROUND From the viewpoint of the patients' health, reducing the radiation dose in computed tomography (CT) is highly desirable. However, projection measurements acquired under low-dose conditions will contain much noise. Therefore, reconstruction of high-quality images from low-dose scans requires effective denoising of the projection measurements. METHODS We propose a denoising algorithm...
