This paper describes the small-diameter monitored drift-tube detector construction at the University of Michigan as a contribution to the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer upgrade for the high-luminosity Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Measurements of the first 30 chambers built at Michigan show that the drift tube wire position accuracy meets the specification of 20 microns. [...]

Assessment of metal implant induced artefacts using photon counting spectral CT
/ Amma, Maya Rajeswari (Otago U.) ; Butler, Anthony P H (MARS Bioimaging ; Canterbury U. ; Otago U.) ; Raja, Aamir Y (Otago U.) ; Bamford, Benjamin (Otago U.) ; Butler, Philip (MARS Bioimaging ; Canterbury U. ; Otago U.) ; Walker, E Peter (Otago U.) ; Matanaghi, Aysouda (Otago U.) ; Adebileje, Sikiru A (Otago U. ; Canterbury U.) ; Anderson, Nigel (Otago U.) ; Anjomrouz, Marzieh (MARS Bioimaging) et al.
The aim is to perform qualitative and quantitative assessment of metal induced artefacts of small titanium biomaterials using photon counting spectral CT. The energy binning feature of some photon counting detectors enables the measured spectrum to be segmented into low, mid and high energy bins in a single exposure. [...]

Element-specific spectral imaging of multiple contrast agents: a phantom study
/ Panta, R K (U. Otago, Dept. Radiol. ; MARS Bioimaging) ; Bell, S T (MARS Bioimaging) ; Healy, J L (Canterbury U.) ; Aamir, R (U. Otago, Dept. Radiol. ; MARS Bioimaging) ; Bateman, C J (Lincoln University) ; Moghiseh, M (U. Otago, Dept. Radiol.) ; Butler, A P H (CERN ; U. Otago, Dept. Radiol. ; MARS Bioimaging ; Canterbury U.) ; Anderson, N G (U. Otago, Dept. Radiol.)
This work demonstrates the feasibility of simultaneous discrimination of multiple contrast agents based on their element-specific and energy-dependent X-ray attenuation properties using a pre-clinical photon-counting spectral CT. We used a photon-counting based pre-clinical spectral CT scanner with four energy thresholds to measure the X-ray attenuation properties of various concentrations of iodine (9, 18 and 36 mg/ml), gadolinium (2, 4 and 8 mg/ml) and gold (2, 4 and 8 mg/ml) based contrast agents, calcium chloride (140 and 280 mg/ml) and water.

This paper outlines image domain material decomposition algorithms that have been routinely used in MARS spectral CT systems. These algorithms (known collectively as MARS-MD) are based on a pragmatic heuristic for solving the under-determined problem where there are more materials than energy bins. [...]

Quantitative imaging of excised osteoarthritic cartilage using spectral CT

Objectives:
To quantify iodine uptake in articular cartilage as a marker of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content using multi-energy spectral CT.
Methods:
We incubated a 25-mm strip of excised osteoarthritic human tibial plateau in 50 % ionic iodine contrast and imaged it using a small-animal spectral scanner with a cadmium telluride photon-processing detector to quantify the iodine through the thickness of the articular cartilage. We imaged both spectroscopic phantoms and osteoarthritic tibial plateau samples. [...]

The energy information acquired using spectral X-ray detectors allows noninvasive identification and characterization of chemical components of a material. To achieve this, it is important that the energy response of the detector is calibrated. [...]

Spectral molecular imaging is a new imaging technique able to discriminate and quantify different components of tissue simultaneously at high spatial and high energy resolution. Our MARS scanner is an x-ray based small animal CT system designed to be used in the diagnostic energy range (20 to 140 keV). [...]
