Purpose The purpose of this work was to develop and make available x‐ray spectra for
some of the most widely used digital mammography (DM), breast tomosynthesis (BT), and …

Purpose: Applications of volumetric CT (VCT) are hampered by shading and streaking
artifacts in the reconstructed images. These artifacts are mainly due to strong x‐ray scatter …

Computed tomography has experienced a number of significant technological advances
over the past decade, and these have had pronounced impacts on the accuracy of radiation …

Purpose: This technical note quantifies the dose and image quality performance of a
clinically available organ‐dose‐based tube current modulation (ODM) technique, using …

A pre-patient attenuator (“bowtie filter” or “bowtie”) is used to modulate an incoming x-ray
beam as a function of the angle of the x-ray with respect to a patient to balance the photon …

Purpose An important challenge for deep learning models is generalizing to new datasets
that may be acquired with acquisition protocols different from the training set. It is not always …

This paper presents a method for estimating the x-ray energy spectrum for computed
tomography (CT) in the diagnostic energy range from the reconstructed CT image itself. To …

Background The bowtie‐filter in cone‐beam CT (CBCT) causes spatially nonuniform x‐ray
beam often leading to eclipse artifacts in the reconstructed image. The artifacts are further …

A bowtie is a filter used to shape an x-ray beam and equalize its flux reaching different
detector channels. For development of spectral CT with energy discriminating photon …

PURPOSE: To demonstrate the feasibility of a dedicated breast computed tomography (bCT)
platform to deliver rotational kilovoltage (kV) external beam radiotherapy (RT) for partial …
