Advancing Heliophysics and Space Weather Modeling Through Open Science

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a community‐wide effort to develop a strategy and action plan to advance heliophysics and space weather modeling through open science. While open science has the potential to enhance the quality and pace of scientific discovery, its application to scientific modeling requires more careful consideration regarding open data and open ...

Photon-Counting Detector CT Virtual Monoenergetic Images in Cervical Trauma Imaging-Optimization of Dental Metal Artifacts and Image Quality. [PDF]

open access: yesDiagnostics (Basel)
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the extent of dental metal artifacts in virtual monoenergetic (VME) images, as they often compromise image quality by obscuring soft tissue affecting vascular attenuation reducing sensitivity in the detection of dissections.

Refining imaging parameters for dual‐energy cone‐beam computed tomography in image‐guided radiation therapy

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Purpose To develop a dose estimation method for virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) derived from sequential dual‐energy (DE) cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT), enhancing image quality while reducing imaging dose. The goal is to generate VMIs with lower imaging dose than standard CBCT for future clinical applications.

Monoenergetic computed tomography reconstructions reduce beam hardening artifacts from dental restorations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of this study was to assess the potential of monoenergetic computed tomography (CT) images to reduce beam hardening artifacts in comparison to standard CT images of dental restoration on dental post-mortem CT (PMCT).

Impact of dose allocation between high‐ and low‐kV scans on virtual monoenergetic image quality in developmental dual‐energy cone‐beam CT for image‐guided radiotherapy

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Background Dual‐energy cone‐beam CT (DE‐CBCT) offers potential as an advanced imaging technique for image‐guided radiation therapy (IGRT) through the production of virtual monoenergetic images (VMI). CBCT‐VMI can show enhanced image quality, with improved CNR and reduced nonuniformity artifacts, compared to polychromatic images.

Comparative evaluation of the Mayo Clinic Florida microdosimetric kinetic model and mMKM for carbon ion treatment planning: A matRad‐based analysis

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Purpose Modeling relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is central to carbon ion radiotherapy treatment planning. The modified Microdosimetric Kinetic Model (mMKM) is a clinically established RBE framework that has guided treatment protocols at many existing carbon centers, while the Mayo Clinic Florida Microdosimetric Kinetic Model (MCF MKM)

Spectral deep learning‐based patient and bowtie scatter correction for clinical photon‐counting CT

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Background The presence of scatter in computed tomography degrades image quality, and can be caused by the patient and by other components in the beam path, such as the bowtie filter. While conventional energy‐integrating detectors do not provide spectral distinction, photon‐counting (PC) detectors are energy‐selective and provide spectral ...

Dual-energy CT-based virtual monoenergetic imaging via unsupervised learning

open access: yesPhysical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine
Abstract Since its development, virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) derived from dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has been shown to be valuable in many clinical applications. However, DECT-based VMI showed increased noise at low keV levels. In this study, we proposed an unsupervised learning method to generate VMI from DECT.

Accurate iodine quantification and residual error reduction with principal component analysis multimaterial decomposition using spectral CT

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Background Multimaterial decomposition (MMD) in dual‐energy CT enables iodine quantification, critical for diagnostic applications. However, residual errors from noniodine materials in iodine maps limit accuracy, especially in complex thoracic regions and low‐dose settings.
