This study demonstrates the translation of small-bore MARS photon-counting CT technology
to live human spectral imaging within a clinical radiation dose level. We used the same …

The aim is to perform qualitative and quantitative assessment of metal induced artefacts of
small titanium biomaterials using photon counting spectral CT. The energy binning feature of …

This thesis describes a series of interrelated studies that I performed to characterize two key
modules of MARS spectral CT scanner: the x-ray source and the x-ray detector …

Ignimbrites within calderas host intrusions with hazardous and/or economically significant
hydrothermal systems. The Hvítserkur ignimbrite at Breiðuvík caldera, north-eastern Iceland …

This thesis reports on the characterisation of two modules of the MARS spectral CT system:
the x-ray source and the x-ray camera. Understanding each of them directly improves …

Properly calibrated, a spectroscopic x-ray computed tomography (CT) machine can perform
quantitative chemistry. The MARS scanner is built around the Medipix family of photon …

Commercially available fully spectroscopic pixelated cadmium telluride (CdTe) detector
systems have been adopted lately for benchtop x-ray fluorescence (XRF) imaging/computed …

This thesis reports on contributions to the development of the MARS spectral CT scanner
that incorporates the energy resolving photon counting Medipix3RX detector. The key novel …

The primary goal of my thesis is to improve the image quality of the MARS scanners. I have
taken a leading role in much of the assembly and testing of the MARS quad cameras, V5 …

This thesis aims to evaluate the capabilities of MARS spectral photon counting computed
tomography for diagnosis and follow-up of bone and soft tissue changes. The imaging …
