   Sammanfattning : Spectral computed tomography with energy-resolving detectors has a potential to improve the detectability of images and correspondingly reduce the radiation dose to patients by extracting and properly using the energy information in the broad x-ray spectrum. A silicon photon-counting detector has been developed for spectral CT and it has successfully solved the problem of high photon flux in clinical CT applications by adopting the segmented detector structure and operating the detector in edge-on geometry.

7. 5. Quantification and Maximization of Performance Measures for Photon Counting Spectral Computed Tomography

   Författare :Moa Yveborg; Hans Bornefalk; Franz Pfeiffer; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; spectral computed tomography; silicon detector; detectability index; photon counting; Hotelling SDNR; material basis decomposition;

   Sammanfattning : During my time as a PhD student at the Physics of Medical Imaging group at KTH, I have taken part in the work of developing a photon counting spectrally resolved silicon detector for clinical computed tomography. This work has largely motivated the direction of my research, and is the main reason for my focus on certain issues. LÄS MER
