Proton computed tomography reconstruction using a backprojection-then-filtering approach.
A novel approach to proton CT reconstruction using backprojection-then-filtering (BPF) is proposed. A list-mode algorithm is formulated accommodating non-linear proton paths. The analytical form is derived for the deblurring kernel necessary for the filtering step. Further, a finite matrix correction is derived to correct for the limited size of the backprojection matrix. High quantitative accu...
متن کاملPerformance of Hull-Detection Algorithms For Proton Computed Tomography Reconstruction
Proton computed tomography (pCT) is a novel imaging modality developed for patients receiving proton radiation therapy. The purpose of this work was to investigate hull-detection algorithms used for preconditioning of the large and sparse linear system of equations that needs to be solved for pCT image reconstruction. The hull-detection algorithms investigated here included silhouette/space car...
متن کاملReconstruction with most likely trajectory for proton computed tomography
Advantages of proton computed tomography (pCT) have been recognized in the past decades. However, the quality of pCT images is limited due to the stochastic nature of the proton path inside the object. Numerous small angle scatters by the nuclei Coulomb field cause the exact proton path impossible to trace. The reconstruction from measurements of the proton energy-loss has a spatial resolution ...
متن کاملA maximum likelihood proton path formalism for application in proton computed tomography.
The limited spatial resolution in proton computed tomography (pCT) in comparison to x-ray CT is related to multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS) within the imaged object. The current generation pCT design utilizes silicon detectors that measure the position and direction of individual protons prior to and post-traversing the patient to maximize the knowledge of the path of the proton within the ima...
متن کاملComputed tomography using proton energy loss.
An experiment has been performed to demonstrate the feasibility of proton computed tomography. The proton energy loss was used to measure the projections of the relative stopping power of the phantom. High quality reconstructions were obtained from scans of 19cm and 30cm diameter performance phantoms. Comparison with reconstructions from an EM1 CT-5005 x-ray scanner showed the proton technique ...
