1. 1. Improving proton therapy planning with photon-counting spectral computed tomography

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Karin Larsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Proton therapy; Medical imaging; Computed Tomography; Protonterapi; Medicinsk avbildning; Datortomografi;

   Abstract : Proton radiation therapy is an alternative to conventional photon radiation therapy, which accounts for the majority of radiation treatments today. The rationale for using protons in radiation therapy lies in their dose deposition properties; photons deposit a radiation dose inversely proportional to the energy, and therefore tissue depth, while protons exhibit a sharp Bragg peak when traversing matter.

3. 2. Deep Ring Artifact Reduction in Photon-Counting CT

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Konstantinos Liappis; [2022]
   Keywords : Photon¬counting; Spectral CT; Material Decomposition; Deep learning; Resnet; Ring artifact; Sinogram; Fotonräknande; Spektral datortomografi; Materialdekomposition; Djupinlärning; Resnet; Ringartefakt; Sinogram;

   Abstract : Ring artifacts are a common problem with the use of photon-counting detectors and commercial deployment rests on being able to compensate for them. Deep learning has been proposed as a candidate for tackling the inefficiency or high cost of traditional techniques. READ MORE

4. 3. Learning the Forward Operator in Photon-Counting Computed Tomography

   University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

   Author : Emanuel Ström; [2021]
   Keywords : Photon-Counting; Computed Tomography; Spectral CT; Regularisation; Deep Learning; Fotonräknande; Datortomografi; Spektral CT; Regularisering; Djupinlärning;

   Abstract : Computed Tomography (CT) is a non-invasive x-ray imaging method capable of reconstructing highly detailed cross-sectional interior maps of an object. CT is used in a range of medical applications such as detection of skeletal fractures, organ trauma and artery calcification. READ MORE

5. 4. Evaluation of deep-learning image reconstruction for photon-counting spectral CT : A comparison between image domain- and projection domain-denoising

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Morris Eriksson; Hannes Karlsson; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : A promising new technology in medical imaging is photon-counting detectors (PCD). Itcould allow for images with higher resolution, less noise, improved material decomposi-tion while possibly reducing radiation exposure for patients. READ MORE

6. 5. Event-based High Resolution X-ray Imaging using Compton Coincidence Detection

   University essay from KTH/Medicinsk avbildning

   Author : Eva Bergström; [2021]
   Keywords : Photon counting CT; Compton scattering; Compton kinematics; coincidence detection; χ2 test; Fotonräknande CT; Compton-spridning; Compton-kinematik; sammanfallsdetektering; χ2 -test;

   Abstract : Research on photon counting detectors (PCDs) is focused on semiconductor materials, and silicon is a strong candidate to use in PCDs for photon counting computer tomography (CT). In a silicon detector, a significant portion of the counts is due to Compton scattering events. READ MORE
