It acquires two sets of spectral data and uses energy-sensitive detectors to reveal additional material information. The K-edge imaging is a gateway for functional or molecular CT, and the book covers detectors, electronics, image reconstruction methods, image quality assessments, simulation tools, nanoparticle contrast agents, and clinical applications. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 422 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01 February 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpectral, Photon Counting Computed Tomography (SPECT\/CT) is a comprehensive exploration of the latest advancements in the widely utilized imaging modality, X-ray Computed Tomography (CT), in its latest iteration: Spectral, Dual-Energy, and Photon Counting CT. The conventional single-energy technique employed by CT technology faces limitations, such as the inability to differentiate between materials and the presence of significant noise. To address these challenges, a novel spectral CT concept has been proposed. Spectral Dual-Energy CT (DE-CT) employs two sets of spectral data to enhance image contrast and identify different materials. On the other hand, Spectral Photon Counting CT (PC-CT) utilizes novel energy-sensitive, photon-counting detectors to reveal additional material information by detecting the energy of X-ray photons. The K-edge imaging technique holds the potential for functional or molecular CT applications.
