“…To acquire images at two different X-ray energy levels, gas detectors, solid-state X-ray detectors (amorphous silicon and germanium), scintillator-based detectors are used for measurement/detection of X-ray intensity (Pfeiffer et al, 2020;Åslund et al, 2010;Alvarez et al, 2004). Owing to the superior energy resolution of the high-purity germanium detector, this detector could be an excellent option for dual-energy CT imaging (Panth et al, 2020).…”
