Spectral computed tomography (CT) provides information on material characterization and
quantification because of its ability to separate different basis materials. Dual-energy (DE) …

Recently, there has been much work devoted to develo** accurate and efficient
algorithms for image reconstruction in helical, cone-beam computed tomography (CT). Little …

Dual-energy cone-beam CT is an important imaging modality in diagnostic applications, and
may also find its use in other applications such as therapeutic image guidance. Despite of its …

We investigate the feasibility of dual-energy method for image contrast enhancement in
small animal studies using a low kV X-ray radiographic system. A robust method for X-ray …

In this paper, the detective quantum efficiency (DQE) of cadmium zinc telluride (CZT)
detector samples for digital radiography has been measured. Specifically, this study is …

Image reconstruction and motion estimation are very important for image-guided
radiotherapy (IGRT). Three-dimensional reconstruction of patient anatomy using X-ray …

We have recently developed a prototype cone-beam micro-CT system for studying new
image reconstruction algorithms experimentally as well as for small animal imaging. Dual …

In viewing underlying pathology with medical imaging, often specific material components
contain most of the diagnostic information. Therefore, material component separation is …

This research involved the development of a polarimetric imaging algorithm used for
selective detection of back scattered photons transmitted through a medium. The novelty of …

The effect of polychromatic x-rays on image reconstruction in helical cone-beam computed
tomography is investigated. A pre-reconstruction dual-energy technique is developed to …
