Purpose The goal of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of using photon-counting
spectral CT for dental applications. This paper qualitatively analyzes the visibility of …

This review article offers an overview of the differences between traditional energy
integrating (EI) X-ray imaging and the new technique of X-ray photon counting spectral …

X-ray photon-counting detectors (PCDs) are drawing an increasing attention in recent years
due to their low noise and energy discrimination capabilities. The energy/spectral dimension …

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

Effective X-ray photon-counting spectral imaging (x-CSI) detector design involves the
optimisation of a wide range of parameters both regarding the sensor (eg, material …

Hard X rays are the probe of choice to three-dimensionally visualize optically opaque hard
and soft objects as well as their combinations without physical cutting. The currently …

To increase the effectiveness of radiotherapy for treating tumours whilst sparing normal
tissues, researchers are investigating gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). AuNPs may be targeted …

This thesis reports on improvements in crystal arthritis diagnosis that we have obtained
using the MARS spectral photon counting imaging system. It also reports on how this system …

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 …
