Potential of ultra-high-resolution photon-counting CT of bone metastases: initial experiences in breast cancer patients

npj Breast Cancer, 2021
Conventional CT scanners use energy-integrating detectors (EIDs). Photon-counting detector (PCD) computed tomography (CT) utilizes a CT detector technology based on smaller detector pixels capable of counting single photons and in addition discriminating

Deep Radiomic Analysis for Predicting Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Computerized Tomography and X-ray Images [PDF]

IEEE Trans Neural Netw Learn Syst. 2022 Jan;33(1):3-11, 2022
This paper proposes to encode the distribution of features learned from a convolutional neural network using a Gaussian Mixture Model. These parametric features, called GMM-CNN, are derived from chest computed tomography and X-ray scans of patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019. We use the proposed GMM-CNN features as input to a robust classifier based

Accuracy of patient dose estimation in cone beam computed tomography in breast irradiation by size‐specific dose estimates with position correction

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract This study aims to investigate the effects of the position correction of size‐specific dose estimates (SSDE) on patient dose estimation in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The relationship between the phantom position and absorbed dose in the right breast was studied using optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters and a simulated human

X‐ray Stain Localization with Near‐Field Ptychographic Computed Tomography

Advanced Science, 2022
Although X‐ray contrast agents offer specific characteristics in terms of targeting and attenuation, their accumulation in the tissue on a cellular level is usually not known and difficult to access, as it requires high resolution and sensitivity.

Effects of X-Ray Dose On Rhizosphere Studies Using X-Ray Computed Tomography. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is a non-destructive imaging technique originally designed for diagnostic medicine, which was adopted for rhizosphere and soil science applications in the early 1980s.

Algorithms for joint activity–attenuation estimation from positron emission tomography scatter

EJNMMI Physics, 2019
Background Attenuation correction in positron emission tomography remains challenging in the absence of measured transmission data. Scattered emission data may contribute missing information, but quantitative scatter-to-attenuation (S2A) reconstruction ...

X-ray computed tomography [PDF]

Physics Education, 2001
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that produces images of transaxial planes through the human body. When compared with a conventional radiograph, which is an image of many planes superimposed on each other, a CT image exhibits significantly improved contrast although this is at the expense of reduced spatial resolution. A CT
