Computed Tomography

9.4K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a fast and accurate scatter artifact correction algorithm for cone beam CT (CBCT).
  • To mitigate shading artifacts, streaks, and improve Hounsfield Unit (HU) accuracy in CBCT.
  • To provide a software-based solution without hardware or workflow modifications.

Main Methods:

  • Estimation of coarse scatter profiles in image or projection domains.
  • Application of a Poisson signal denoising algorithm for final scatter distribution.
  • Evaluation using Monte Carlo simulations, phantom data, and in vivo human data.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in scatter artifacts and recovery of accurate HU in both projection and image domains.
  • Improved contrast in in vivo human images after scatter correction.
  • Minimal impact of attenuation coefficient variations on algorithm performance.

Conclusions:

  • The developed software-based technique offers high computational efficiency and accuracy.
  • Scatter correction can be performed without extra scans or hardware modifications.
  • This method enhances CBCT image quantitation, impacting interventional procedures and adaptive radiation therapy.
