A key process in the development of atherosclerotic plaques is the recruitment of monocytes
into the artery wall. Using spectral photon-counting computed tomography we examine …

Background and aims Atherosclerotic plaques are characterized as being vulnerable to
rupture based on a series of histologically defined features, including a lipid-rich necrotic …

Images from MARS spectral CT scanners show that there is much diagnostic value from
using small pixels and good energy data. MARS scanners use energy-resolving photon …

Spectral photon-counting CT (SPCCT) offers quantitative, high-resolution molecular imaging
using intrinsic biomarkers and introduced non-radioactive agents. Thus, SPCCT may open …

This thesis illustrates the ability of MARS photon counting spectral CT (SPCCT) to identify
and quantify intrinsic features of atherosclerotic plaque responsible for its rupture …

This thesis reports on the developments made to give improvements in the MARS image
reconstruction chain. The work described in this thesis helps all MARS users to produce …
