Since scattered radiation in cone‐beam volume CT implies severe degradation of CT
images by quantification errors, artifacts, and noise increase, scatter suppression is one of …

Purpose: To compare the estimate of normalized glandular dose in mammography and
breast CT imaging obtained using the actual glandular tissue distribution in the breast to that …

Purpose: Energy‐resolved CT has the potential to improve the contrast‐to‐noise ratio (CNR)
through optimal weighting of photons detected in energy bins. In general, optimal weighting …

X-ray scatter compensation is a very desirable technique in flat-panel X-ray imaging and
cone-beam computed tomography. State-of-the-art U-net based scatter removal approaches …

Purpose In cone‐beam breast CT, scattered photons form a large portion of the acquired
signal, adversely impacting image quality throughout the frequency response of the imaging …

Purpose: To improve image quality and accuracy in dedicated breast computed tomography
(BCT) by removing the x‐ray scatter signal included in the BCT projections. Methods: The …

Purpose The purpose of this work was twofold:(a) To provide a robust and accurate method
for image segmentation of dedicated breast CT (bCT) volume data sets, and (b) to improve …

Background: Worldwide, breast cancer is the most common cancer and second deadliest
cancer in women. Diagnostic imaging techniques are a critical part for screening, diagnosis …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to utilize a dedicated breast CT system using a
2D beam stop array to physically evaluate the scatter to primary ratios (SPRs) of different …

In this paper, we propose a novel static CT system: triple planes CT (TPCT) system. Three
source-detector planes in different horizontal directions are placed in the system. Line-array …
