Abstract:Purpose: Spectral CT exploits advanced MultiX ME 100 photon counting detectors (PCD) to measure a material’s spectrally resolved linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) with the simultaneous spectral acquisition at multiple energy thresholds. We present a method for material classification using spectral x-ray Computed Tomography (CT).
Methods: The method employs a basis material decomposition model and estimates the effective atomic number (Zeff ) from the spectral LAC measurements. Basis material decomposition… Show more
