Spectral imaging is an umbrella term for energy-resolved X-ray imaging in medicine. The
technique makes use of the energy dependence of X-ray attenuation to either increase the …

Common methods to achieve photon number resolution rely on fast on-off single-photon
detectors in conjunction with temporal or spatial mode multiplexing. Yet, these methods …

The development of energy-resolving photon-counting detectors provides a new approach
for obtaining spectral information in computed tomography. However, the responses of …

Purpose The advent of three‐dimensional breast imaging systems such as digital breast
tomosynthesis (DBT) has great promise for improving the detection and diagnosis of breast …

Purpose Photon‐counting, energy‐resolving detectors are subject to intense research
interest, and there is a need for a general framework for performance assessment of these …

PURPOSE: To compare imaging performance of a cadmium telluride (CdTe) based photon
counting detector (PCD) with a CMOS based energy integrating detector (EID) for potential …

Purpose A dual‐energy material decomposition method using photon‐counting spectral
mammography was investigated as a non‐invasive diagnostic approach to differentiate …

Abstract Knowledge of x-ray attenuation is essential for developing and evaluating x-ray
imaging technologies. For instance, techniques to distinguish between cysts and solid …

Current digital mammography systems primarily employ one of two types of detectors:
indirect conversion, typically using a cesium-iodine scintillator integrated with an amorphous …

Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of detecting breast microcalcification (μCa) with a
dedicated breast computed tomography (CT) system based on energy‐resolved photon …
