Background:

  • Current CT systems face challenges with dose efficiency and scatter rejection.
  • Photon counting detectors offer advantages in spectral information and noise reduction.
  • Microchannel plate (MCP) detectors are emerging as viable photon counting options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a novel photon counting cone beam CT system.
  • To assess the feasibility of using Multi Slit Multi Slice (MSMS) geometry with MCP detectors.
  • To determine the potential for clinical application, specifically in volume breast imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an MSMS cone beam acquisition geometry.
  • Utilizing linear array photon counting detectors, specifically microchannel plates (MCPs).
