Energy-resolved computed tomography with a response-function-less transXend detector
نویسندگان
چکیده
A ‘transXend’ detector measures X-rays as electric current and yields an X-ray energy spectrum after analysis. Response functions are necessary for the analysis previously estimated using m...

Material Decomposition Using Ensemble Learning for Energy-Resolved Computed Tomography
Material decomposition facilitates the differentiation of different materials in X-ray imaging. As an alternative to the previous empirical material decomposition methods, we performed material decomposition using ensemble learning methods in this work. Three representative ensemble methods with two decision trees as the base learning algorithms were implemented to perform material decompositio...
متن کاملAssessment of X-Ray Crosstalk in a Computed Tomography Scanner with Small Detector Elements Using Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: Crosstalk is a leakage of X-ray or light produced in a matrix of X-ray detectors or array of photodiodes in one element to other elements affecting on image contrast and spatial resolution. In this study, we assessed X-ray crosstalk in a computed tomography (CT) scanner with small detector elements to estimate the effect of various parameters such as X-ray tube voltage, detector e...
متن کاملSpectral Computed Tomography with a Photon-Counting Silicon-Strip Detector
Computed tomography (CT) is a widely used medical imaging modality. By rotating an x-ray tube and an x-ray detector around the patient, a CT scanner is able to measure the x-ray transmission from all directions and form an image of the patient’s interior. CT scanners in clinical use today all use energy-integrating detectors, which measure the total incident energy for each measurement interval...
متن کاملCharacterization and Energy Calibration of a Silicon-Strip Detector for Photon-Counting Spectral Computed Tomography
Multibin photon-counting x-ray detectors are promising candidates to be applied in next generation computed tomography (CT), whereby energy information from a broad x-ray spectrum can be extracted and properly used for improving image quality and correspondingly reducing radiation dose. A silicon-strip detector has been developed for spectral CT, which operates in photon-counting mode and allow...
متن کاملA multi detector computed tomography survey of tracheal diverticulum.
OBJECTIVE Tracheal diverticulum (DV) is an incidental finding in thoracic computed tomography examinations. Tracheal DV may be associated with chronic cough and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A few studies have investigated the relationship between tracheal DV and COPD. There is still no consensus on the relationship. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of tr...
