Purpose The modulation transfer function (MTF) is widely used as an objective metric of
spatial resolution of medical imaging systems. Despite advances in capability for three …

Scatter correction is an essential technique to improve the image quality of cone-beam CT
(CBCT). Although different scatter correction methods have been proposed in the literature …

Objective. The quantitative and routine imaging capabilities of cone-beam CT (CBCT) are
hindered from clinical applications due to the severe shading artifacts of scatter …

Multi-material decomposition (MMD) decomposes CT images into basis material images,
and is a promising technique in clinical diagnostic CT to identify material compositions …

Purpose To develop a deep learning-based network for CBCT-to-CT translation. This
approach aims to enhance CBCT image quality and enable more accurate photon and …

Based on the beam hardening behavior of polychromatic X-ray, the aim of this paper is to
address and test an improved experimental and theoretical investigations of the distorted …

Purpose Scatter contamination in the cone‐beam CT (CBCT) leads to CT number
inaccuracy, spatial nonuniformity, and loss of image contrast. In our previous work, we …

DUAL-energy computed tomography (DECT) differentiates materials by exploiting the
varying material linear attenuation coefficients (LACs) for different x-ray energy spectra. Multi …

Cone-beam CT (CBCT) is installed in the treatment room to facilitate online clinical
applications, including image guidance in radiation and surgery. Half-fan and short-can are …

Abstract Purpose Cone‐beam CT (CBCT) has been widely utilized in image‐guided
radiotherapy. Planning CT (pCT)‐aided CBCT scatter correction could further enhance …
