Computed tomography (CT) has a major advantage over radiography in that it provides 3D imaging and resolves the structural overlap problem inherent to radiography. Since the early 1970s, CT evolved in parallel with radiography in many areas. As megav

Megavoltage (MV) radiography has important applications in imaging large cargos for detecting illicit materials. A useful feature of MV radiography is the possibility of decomposing and quantifying materials with different atomic numbers. This can be

Purpose: Photon counting (PC) computed tomography (CT) can provide material-selective CT imaging at low patient dose, but it suffers from suboptimal detector count rate. A dynamic beam attenuator (DBA) can help with the count rate by modulating the x

Purpose: In photon counting (PC)x-ray imaging and computed tomography(CT), the broad x-rayspectrum can be split into two parts using an x-ray filter with appropriate K-edge energy, which can improve material decomposition. Recent experimental study h

Photon counting spectral computed tomography (PCSCT) provides material selective CT imaging at a single CT scan and fixed tube voltage. The PCSCT data are acquired in several energy ranges (bins) arranged over the x-ray spectrum. The quasi-monoenerge

Spectral CT systems with photon counting detectors have more advantages compared to conventional CT systems. However, clinical applications have been hampered for a long time due to the high demands of clinical systems and limitations of spectroscopi

The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in x-ray imaging can be increased using a photon counting detector which could allow for rejecting electronics noise and for weighting x-ray photons according to their energies. This approach, however, was not feasible
