Spectral CT: Current Liver Applications
Using two different energy levels, dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) allows for material differentiation, improves image quality and iodine conspicuity, and allows researchers the opportunity to determine iodine contrast and radiation dose reduction.

Spectral CT Reconstruction With Image Sparsity and Spectral Mean [PDF]
Photon-counting detectors can acquire x-ray intensity data in different energy bins. The signal to noise ratio of resultant raw data in each energy bin is generally low due to the narrow bin width and quantum noise. To address this problem, here we propose an image reconstruction approach for spectral CT to simultaneously reconstructs x-ray attenuation

Deep learning based spectral CT imaging [PDF]
Spectral computed tomography (CT) has attracted much attention in radiation dose reduction, metal artifacts removal, tissue quantification and material discrimination. The x-ray energy spectrum is divided into several bins, each energy-bin-specific projection has a low signal-noise-ratio (SNR) than the current-integrating counterpart, which makes image

Temporal and spectral imaging with micro‐CT [PDF]
Purpose:Micro‐CT is widely used for small animal imaging in preclinical studies of cardiopulmonary disease, but further development is needed to improve spatial resolution, temporal resolution, and material contrast. We present a technique for visualizing the changing distribution of iodine in the cardiac cycle with dual source micro‐CT.Methods:The ...
