Computed Tomography

4.2K
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 Imaging
  • Radiological Physics

Background:

  • Computed tomography (CT) systems increasingly employ spectral shaping.
  • Spectral shaping, or spectral filtration, uses materials like tin (Sn) or silver (Ag) filters.
  • These filters selectively absorb low-energy photons, altering the X-ray spectrum.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the utility of spectral shaping in computed tomography (CT).
  • To demonstrate its effectiveness across diverse clinical protocols and situations.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing tin (Sn) or silver (Ag) filters for spectral shaping in CT.
  • Acquiring diagnostic images with spectral-shaped CT protocols.

Main Results:

  • Spectral-shaped CT protocols, particularly with tin filters, enable diagnostic image acquisition.
  • Significant reductions in radiation dose, metal artifacts, and photon starvation were observed.
  • The technique proved suitable for a wide range of diagnostic and interventional CT imaging scenarios.

Conclusions:

  • Spectral shaping is a valuable technique in modern CT imaging.
  • It enhances image quality while reducing radiation dose and artifacts.
  • Its versatility makes it applicable to numerous clinical CT applications.
