An iterative method to estimate x-ray attenuation coefficients in computed tomography
Introduction: The basis of image formation in Computed Tomography (CT) lies in the x-ray linear attenuation coefficient of the scanned material. Compton scattering and photoelectric effect are the dominant interactions of the x-ray photons with the subject, in the range of diagnostic radiology. These two coefficients are important in tissue characterization by Dual-Energy CT (D...
متن کاملAge Differences of Human Frontal Sinus Measurements using CT Scan
Background and Objectives: The frontal sinus is regarded as one of the human paranasal sinuses located in the frontal bone as a triangular-shaped cavity, which originates as separated space from the anterior ethmoid cells. Computed Tomography (CT) is a completely non-destructive technique that uses a high density of contrast to identify the air inside any bony sinus with soft tissue demarcated ...
متن کاملAngular width of a narrow beam for X-ray linear attenuation coefficient measurements
The detection of scattered radiation can be a major source of systematic errors when measuring the X-ray linear attenuation coefficient, m. Angular distributions of scattered photons are studied for Z 1⁄4 1 to 20 at energies 6 keV to 100MeV, using tabulated atomic form factors and incoherent scattering functions. A circularly symmetric pencil beam irradiation geometry is considered, and scatter...
متن کاملX-ray mass attenuation coefficient of silicon: theory versus experiment.
We compare new experimental x-ray total mass attenuation coefficients of silicon obtained with the x-ray extended-range technique (XERT) from 5 to 20 keV with theoretical calculations and earlier experimental measurements over a 5 to 50 keV energy range. The accuracy of between 0.27% and 0.5% of the XERT data allows us to probe alternate atomic and solid state wave function calculations and to ...
متن کاملSparse signal reconstruction from polychromatic X-ray CT measurements via mass attenuation discretization
We propose a method for reconstructing sparse images from polychromatic x-ray computed tomography (ct) measurements via mass attenuation coefficient discretization. The material of the inspected object and the incident spectrum are assumed to be unknown. We rewrite the Lambert-Beer’s law in terms of integral expressions of mass attenuation and discretize the resulting integrals. We then present...
