Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

9.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Computed Tomography
  • Imaging Systems

Background:

  • Multisource inverse-geometry computed tomography (IGCT) offers potential advantages over conventional CT.
  • Previous research has explored IGCT concepts, but a comprehensive overview and prototype development were lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the multisource IGCT concept.
  • To present the development and evaluation of a novel gantry-based multisource IGCT research prototype.

Main Methods:

  • Designed and implemented a gantry-based 32-source IGCT scanner with a 22 cm field-of-view.
  • Utilized commercially available CT components and a custom distributed x-ray source.
  • Developed dedicated controls, calibrations, and reconstruction algorithms; evaluated performance with phantoms and small animals.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated successful operation with up to 32 focal spots and tube current up to 125 mA.
  • Achieved a spatial resolution of 13 lp/cm at 5% cutoff.
  • Observed minimal artifacts but notable noise in initial images due to low x-ray flux.

Conclusions:

  • Multisource IGCT presents unique benefits for dose-efficiency and reduced cone-beam artifacts.
  • Challenges remain regarding scattered radiation and x-ray flux limitations.
  • This prototype represents the first gantry-based IGCT scanner, with promising initial results for phantom and small animal imaging.
