Improvement of Image Quality in Transmission Computed Tomography Using Synchrotron Monochromatic X-Ray Sheet Beam
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the transmission CT imaging system with scintillator-CCD detector using synchrotron monochromatic x-ray as sheet beam, improvement of reconstructed image quality is investigated. The properties of experimental facilities cause the incident beam intensity to be spatially inhomogeneous, and to temporally attenuate. In order to achieve more reliable reconstruction, we propose the data-correction and estimation method based on the properties of the facilities and the principle of CT reconstruction, and confirm its effectiveness using a physical phantom.

Sheet-beam geometry for in vivo fluorescent x-ray computed tomography: proof-of-concept experiment in molecular imaging.
We propose a fluorescent x-ray computed tomography method using an array of detectors with an incident sheet beam, aimed at providing molecular imaging with high sensitivity and good spatial resolution. In this study, we prove the feasibility of this concept and investigate its imaging properties, including spatial and contrast resolutions and quantitativeness, by imaging an acrylic phantom and...
متن کاملMonochromatic computed tomography with a compact laser-driven X-ray source
A laser-driven electron-storage ring can produce nearly monochromatic, tunable X-rays in the keV energy regime by inverse Compton scattering. The small footprint, relative low cost and excellent beam quality provide the prospect for valuable preclinical use in radiography and tomography. The monochromaticity of the beam prevents beam hardening effects that are a serious problem in quantitative ...
متن کاملPhase Imaging with an X-ray Talbot Interferometer
X-ray Talbot interferometry (XTI) is described as a novel phase-sensitive X-ray imaging method. XTI uses two transmission gratings, and therefore in principle it functions with cone-beam X-rays of a broad energy band width, allowing its instrumentation with a compact X-ray source. Because an amplitude transmission grating is needed, X-ray lithography and electrochemical gold plating were employ...
متن کاملLow-dose x-ray phase-contrast and absorption CT using equally sloped tomography.
Tomographic reconstruction from undersampled and noisy projections is often desirable in transmission CT modalities for purposes of low-dose tomography and fast acquisition imaging. However under such conditions, due to the violation of the Nyquist sampling criteria and the presence of noise, reconstructions with acceptable accuracy may not be possible. Recent experiments in transmission electr...
متن کاملImpact of Photon Spectra on the Sensitivity of Polymer Gel Dosimetry by X-Ray Computed Tomography
Introduction: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of X-ray spectra on the sensitivity of a polymer gel dosimeter imaged with a conventional computed tomography (CT) scanner. Material and Methods: The whole process of CT imaging of an irradiated polymer gel was simulated by MCNPX Monte Carlo (MC) code. The imaging of polyacrylamide gel was accomplished by means of a co...
