About this ebook
This book will provide readers with a good overview of some of most recent advances in the field of Photon Counting CT technology for X-ray medical imaging, especially as it pertains to new detectors. There will be a good mixture of general chapters in both technology and applications in CT medical imaging. The book will have an in-depth review of the research topics from world-leading specialists in the field. The conversion of the X-ray signal into analogue/digital value will be covered in some chapters. The authors also provide a review of CMOS chips for X-ray image sensors, methods of material discrimination and image reconstruction techniques.
- Covers a broad range of topics, including an introduction to novel spectral Computed Tomography;
- Includes in-depth analysis on how to optimize X-ray detection;
- Discusses analysis of electronics for X-ray detection.
About the author
Scott Hsieh is an assistant professor at the Mayo Clinic whose research includes modeling and development of photon counting detectors. His past contributions to photon counting include theory for circuit designs that could reduce dose and improve contrast, and simulations to define application requirements. Previously, he was a faculty member at UCLA and an instructor at Stanford. He is a named inventor on 13 issued U.S. utility patents.
