Spatial resolution properties in cone beam CT: a simulation studyLingyun Chen
Department of Imaging Physics, University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
Med Phys 35:724-34. 2008..The 3D PSFs may be approximated by an ellipsoid with three different axial lengths. They were found to point upright along the rotating axis but tilt toward the rotating axis as the point object was moved away from the axis...
Dual resolution cone beam breast CT: a feasibility studyLingyun Chen
Department of Imaging Physics, University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030 4009, USA
Med Phys 36:4007-14. 2009..In this study, the authors investigated the feasibility of a dual resolution volume-of-interest (VOI) cone beam breast CT technique and compared two implementation approaches in terms of dose saving and scatter reduction...
Feasibility of volume-of-interest (VOI) scanning technique in cone beam breast CT--a preliminary studyLingyun Chen
Department of Imaging Physics, University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030 4009, USA
Med Phys 35:3482-90. 2008....
Reduction in x-ray scatter and radiation dose for volume-of-interest (VOI) cone-beam breast CT--a phantom studyChao Jen Lai
Department of Imaging Physics, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA
Phys Med Biol 54:6691-709. 2009..27 and 1.6, respectively. As a result, the CNRs were improved by a factor of 1.06 and 1.13 for the small and the large phantoms and the FOM improved by a factor of 1.4 and 1.7, respectively...
Scan equalization digital radiography (SEDR) implemented with an amorphous selenium flat-panel detector: initial experienceXinming Liu
Department of Imaging Physics, Digital Imaging Research Laboratory, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030 4009, USA
Phys Med Biol 54:6959-78. 2009..The SEDR technique demonstrated a substantial improvement in PSNRs over the anti-scatter grid technique. The improvements of PSNRs varied with the regions and are more pronounced in heavily attenuating regions...
Visibility of microcalcification in cone beam breast CT: effects of X-ray tube voltage and radiation doseChao Jen Lai
Department of Imaging Physics, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030 4009, USA
Med Phys 34:2995-3004. 2007..5 cm phantom were 367 (+/-1), 316 (+/-7), 265 (+/-3) microm at 3, 6, and 12 mGy, respectively. Those for the 14.5 cm phantom were 377 (+/-3), 334 (+/-5), 300 (+/-2) microm at 6, 12, and 24 mGy, respectively...
Dedicated cone-beam breast CT: feasibility study with surgical mastectomy specimensWei Tse Yang
Department of Diagnostic Radiology, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, 1515 Holcombe Blvd, Unit 1350, Houston, TX 77030, USA
AJR Am J Roentgenol 189:1312-5. 2007..Our study shows that cone-beam breast CT images have exceptional tissue contrast and can potentially reduce examination time with comparable radiation dose...
Scatter rejection and low-contrast performance of a slot-scan digital chest radiography system with electronic aft-collimation: a chest phantom studyXinming Liu
Digital Imaging Research Laboratory, Department of Imaging Physics, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030 4009, USA
Med Phys 35:2391-402. 2008..These results demonstrated that the slot-scan/ALER technique can be used to achieve equally effective scatter rejection but substantially higher low-contrast performance than the anti-scatter grid method...
Comparison of slot scanning digital mammography system with full-field digital mammography systemChao Jen Lai
Department of Imaging Physics, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030 4009, USA
Med Phys 35:2339-46. 2008..With the anthropomorphic breast phantom (tissue structure background), the SSDM system performed better than the FFDM system at 0.87 mGy but worse at 1.74 mGy. However, the differences were not found to be statistically significant...
Noise simulation in cone beam CT imaging with parallel computingShu Ju Tu
Department of Imaging Physics, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030 4009, USA
Phys Med Biol 51:1283-97. 2006..As an example among the potential applications of our noise simulation model, we showed that images of low contrast objects can be produced and used for image quality evaluation...
