Enhanced K-Edge CT Using Dual-Filter Spectral Separation for High-Sensitivity Imaging of Bismuth
While CT imaging has advanced with improved machine design, further diagnostic information can be achieved by enhancing sensitivity to high-Z therapeutic agents. Current photon-counting CT (PCCT) k-edge imaging sensitivity is limited by spectral overlap betwe...

A Feasibility Study for Photon-Counting Detector-Based DXA-like Bone Density Scans
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the clinical standard for bone mineral density assessment but is constrained by energy-integrating detectors. This study investigates the feasibility of DXA imaging using a benchtop photon-counting detector (PCD).
