A new method to measure electron density and effective atomic number using dual-energy CT images.
The purpose of this work is to present a new method to extract the electron density ([Formula: see text]) and the effective atomic number (Z eff) from dual-energy CT images, based on a Karhunen-Loeve expansion (KLE) of the atomic cross section per electron. This method was used to calibrate a Siemens Definition CT using the CIRS phantom. The predicted electron density and effective atomic numbe...

در این رساله با معرفی سقف های psscb متشکل از ترکیب ورق های فولادی ذوزنقه ای و تخته های سیمانی الیافی به عنوان سقف های پیش ساخته (سازگار با سیستم سازه ای قاب های فولادی سبک) به بررسی پارامترهای موثر بر صلبیت سقف، پرداخته می شود. در تحقیق حاضر ابتدا به مدل سازی دو نمونه سقف آزمایش شده، به روش اجزاء محدود با استفاده از نرم افزار تحلیلی abaqus ver 6.10 پرداخته شده است. نمونه های ساخته شده تحت اعما...
A 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 کاملHelical 4D CT pitch management for the Brilliance CT Big Bore in clinical practice
In external beam radiotherapy treatment planning for patients with thoracic malignancies, respiratory-correlated CT (4D CT) is used to obtain high quality studies in the presence of respiratory motion. When helical 4D CT scans are acquired with a Brilliance CT Big Bore, the pitch must meet two conditions. It must be low enough to avoid motion artifacts, and high enough to cover the entire scan ...
