  1. 1. Detective Quantum Efficiency in the Image Domain

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Per Lundhammar; [2022]
    Keywords : detective quantum efficiency; linear systems theory; projection domain; image domain; x-ray imaging; detektiv kvanteffektivitet; linjär-systemteori; projektionsdomän; bilddomän; röntgenavbildning;

    Abstract : We investigate the signal and noise transform characteristics from the projection domain to the image domain in a linear systems theory framework and predictions of the DQE within this framework are made. A simulation study of a photon counting silicon detector is made from which the energy information is used in order to produce synthetic monoenergetic images. READ MORE

  3. 2. Phase-Contrast Imaging, Towards G2-less Grating Interferometry With Deep Silicon

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Rickard Brunskog; [2022]
    Keywords : Phase-contrast imaging; phase-contrast; CT-scanning; Computed-tomography; 1 micrometer resolution x-ray; grating-less phase-contrast imaging; Faskontraströntgen; faskontrast; CT-skanning; 1 mikrometer upplösning x-ray; gitterlös faskontrast; datortomografi;

    Abstract : Conventional phase-contrast imaging entails stepping an analyser grating across the detector to resolve the interference pattern caused by the x-rays after passing through a series of gratings in a so-called Talbot-Lau interferometer. However, the analyser grating in the interferometer poses a challenge, not only due to the machinery and alignment required but also due to each exposure delivering a dose to the subject. READ MORE

  4. 3. Neural Networks for Material Decomposition in Photon-Counting Spectral CT

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Hugo Charrier; [2022]
    Keywords : PCCT; X-ray; scanner; photon counting; AI; neural networks;

    Abstract : Photon counting computed tomography scanners constitute a major improvement of the field of computed tomography, opening various prospective and enabling the decomposition of computed tomography images into different materials. The material decomposition algorithm, mapping photon counts to material pathlengths, relies on a forward model with Poisson statistics. READ MORE

  5. 4. High resolution x-ray imaging by measuring the induced charge distribution

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Zihui Jin; [2022]
    Keywords : Computed tomography; photon-counting detector; silicon; spatial resolution; Datortomografi; fotonräknande detektor; kisel; spatial upplösning;

    Abstract : Computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique used to create cross-section images of human bodies based on x-rays. The emerging photon-counting CT detector shows several advantages compared with the traditional energy integrating detector. READ MORE

  6. 5. Material decomposition using a photon counting X-ray detector in low energy range

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Rasmus Solem; [2021]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Material decomposition in X-ray imaging is used to separate different materials or elements in an image and to quantify their respective concentration. The material decomposition and quantification are made possible by the dependency of attenuation on the attenuating material and photon energy. READ MORE
