X-Ray Computed Tomography Reveals the Response of Root System Architecture to Soil Texture1[OPEN]

Plant Physiology, 2016
X-ray computed tomography of rice root system architecture in different substrate textures reveals genotype by environment interactions. Root system architecture (RSA) impacts plant fitness and crop yield by facilitating efficient nutrient and water ...

Diagnostic image‐based treatment planning for online adaptive ultra‐hypofractionated prostate cancer radiotherapy with MR‐Linac

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose A new workflow was investigated for Elekta Unity MR‐Linac by removing the computed tomography (CT)‐simulation step and using diagnostic CT (DCT) for reference plan generation. Materials and methods Ten patients with ultra‐hypofractionated prostate cancer treated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐guided adaptive radiotherapy were ...

Monte Carlo Simulation for Polychromatic X-ray Fluorescence Computed Tomography with Sheet-Beam Geometry [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
X-ray fluorescence computed tomography based on sheet-beam can save a huge amount of time to obtain a whole set of projections using synchrotron. However, it is clearly unpractical for most biomedical research laboratories. In this paper, polychromatic X-ray fluorescence computed tomography with sheet-beam geometry is tested by Monte Carlo simulation ...

Ring artefacts in X-ray computed tomography

The British Journal of Radiology, 1988
In a recent letter (Coulden & Dixon, 1987) it was suggested that central ring artefacts in computed tomography (CT) are caused by low photon transmission through the centre of the body, rather than by detector miscalibration or malfunction. The authors stated that the “artefacts are sometimes unavoidable in very obese patients, even when meticulous

Evaluation of dosimetric and spatial accuracy of a virtual cone technique for radiosurgery using linac‐integrated CBCT‐based polymer gel dosimetry

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study evaluates the dosimetric and geometric precision of a virtual cone technique using CBCT‐based polymer gel dosimetry, enabling radiation delivery, and imaging readout within an identical spatial coordinate system. Methods We created a C# script for a virtual cone technique that generates a treatment plan with 10 gantry arcs ...

Multi-pinhole fluorescent x-ray computed tomography for molecular imaging

Scientific Reports, 2017
We propose a multi-pinhole fluorescent x-ray computed tomography (mp-FXCT) technique for preclinical molecular imaging that can provide the complete data necessary to produce 3-D tomographic images during anaesthesia. In this method, multiple projections

Supervised Reconstruction for Silhouette Tomography [PDF]

arXiv
In this paper, we introduce silhouette tomography, a novel formulation of X-ray computed tomography that relies only on the geometry of the imaging system. We formulate silhouette tomography mathematically and provide a simple method for obtaining a particular solution to the problem, assuming that any solution exists.
