概括
与能量整合探测器CT (EID-CT) 相比,光子计数探测器计算机断层扫描 (PCD-CT) 显示了光束硬化 (BH) 器件的增加,特别是与对比剂相比. 然而,PCD-CT的结果并非如此.
科学领域:
- 医学成像物理 医学成像物理
- 辐射技术 辐射技术
- 计算机断层扫描 (CT) 技术
背景情况:
- 光束硬化 (BH) 文物降低了计算机断层扫描 (CT) 测量,特别是在密集材料或高有效原子数的情况下.
- 光子计数探测器 (PCD) 由于光子能量权重均,因此更容易受到BH工件的影响.
- 在诊断CT能量范围内具有K边缘的对比剂 (CA) 会加剧BH人工物.
研究的目的:
- 量化和比较能量整合探测器CT (EID-CT) 和光子计数探测器CT (PCD-CT) 中的光束硬化 (BH) 工件.
- 为了评估不同对比剂 (CA) 在 CT 系统中对 BH 文物的影响.
- 评估PCD-CT光谱信息在缓解BH人工物方面的潜力.
主要方法:
- 使用EID-CT和PCD-CT系统扫描含有,加多和基对比剂 (CA) 的试管.
- 在PCD扫描仪上以各种管电压进行扫描,并使用标准水BH校正重建图像.
- 虚拟单能图像 (VMI) 由PCD-CT数据生成,以分析BH人工物减少.
主要成果:
- 在所有测试的X射线光谱和CA中,PCD-CT显示出显著更高的CT数量和更大的器件 (p < 0.001).
- 与或加多基CA相比,基于的CA导致了比或加多的CA小3到5倍的文物.
- 基于PCD-CT的VMI有效地消除了BH工件,随着管子电压的增加而减少;然而,基于加多的BH工件在120kVp时呈现了上升趋势.
结论:
- 在120kVp和更高的电压下,EID-CT显示的BH文物比PCD-CT少.
- 来自PCD-CT的光谱数据可以被利用来完全去除BH文物,特别是基于的CA.
- 对于以加多和为基础的CA,需要专门的校正策略,以解决PCD-CT中混的BH人工物.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

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...
