non-calcified coronary artery plaque characterization by dual energy computed tomography (dect)
background one of the most important causes of mortality in developed and developing countries is coronary artery disease. coronary artery disease (cad) may develop by deposition of lipid, fibrous or calcified debris on the surface of the coronary artery lumen. fibrous plaque and calcified plaque may cause substantial stenosis of coronary arteries leading to ischemia of heart muscle while lipid...
متن کاملMaterial 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 کاملSeparation of Hepatic Iron and Fat by Dual-Source Dual-Energy Computed Tomography Based on Material Decomposition: An Animal Study
OBJECTIVE To explore the feasibility of dual-source dual-energy computed tomography (DSDECT) for hepatic iron and fat separation in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS All of the procedures in this study were approved by the Research Animal Resource Center of Shanghai Ruijin Hospital. Sixty rats that underwent DECT scanning were divided into the normal group, fatty liver group, liver iron group, and ...
متن کاملDual energy computed tomography for explosive detection
Single energy computed tomography (CT) scanners use measurements of densities to detect explosives in luggage. It is desirable to apply dual energy techniques to these CT scanners to obtain atomic number measurements to reduce false alarm rates. However, the direct application of existing dual energy techniques has practical problems, such as, approximation errors and lack of boundary constrain...
