Abstract:Objective: A novel X-ray field produced by an ultrathin conical target is described in the literature. However, the optimal design for an associated collimator remains ambiguous. Current optimization methods using Monte Carlo calculations restrict the efficiency and robustness of the design process. A more generic optimization method that reduces parameter constraints while minimizing computational load is necessary. A numerical method for optimizing the longitudinal collimator hole geometry for a cylindricall… Show more
