Attenuation Correction of L-shell X-ray Fluorescence Computed Tomography Imaging
X-ray fluorescence computed tomography (XFCT) is an experimental technique that can reconstruct the distribution of elements within the sample from the measurement of fluorescence stimulated from the sample[1]. The sample is irradiated with a x-ray beam, of which the energy is greater than the K-shell energy or L-shell energy of the interest elements. These x rays undergo photoelectric interact...
متن کاملX-ray Computed Tomography for Medical Imaging
Themathematical principles of computed tomography (CT) were first investigated by J. Radon [28] as early as 1917 and were later extended to complex fields by Kirillov [22]. The first application of tomography was, surprisingly, in radio astronomy [2], and today, it finds usage in diverse fields such as medical imaging, seismology, and underwater acoustic imaging. In medical imaging, CT has had ...
متن کاملX-ray computed tomography.
X-ray computed tomography (CT), introduced into clinical practice in 1972, was the first of the modern slice-imaging modalities. To reconstruct images mathematically from measured data and to display and to archive them in digital form was a novelty then and is commonplace today. CT has shown a steady upward trend with respect to technology, performance and clinical use independent of predictio...
متن کاملFolic acid-conjugated silica capped gold nanoclusters for targeted fluorescence/X-ray computed tomography imaging
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is 2th most common cancer in China, and is still the second most common cause of cancer-related death in the world. Successful development of safe and effective nanoprobes for in vivo gastric cancer targeting imaging is a big challenge. This study is aimed to develop folic acid (FA)-conjugated silica coated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) for targeted dual-modal fluorescent ...
متن کاملValidation of x-ray microfocus computed tomography as an imaging tool for porous structures.
X-ray microfocus computed tomography (micro-CT) is recently put forward to qualitatively and quantitatively characterize the internal structure of porous materials. However, it is known that artifacts such as the partial volume effect are inherently present in micro-CT images, thus resulting in a visualization error with respect to reality. This study proposes a validation protocol that in the ...
