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. [...]

MARS pre-clinical imaging: the benefits of small pixels and good energy data
/ Butler, Philip H (MARS Bioimaging ; Canterbury U. ; Otago U.) ; Adebileje, Sikiru A (Otago U. ; Canterbury U.) ; Alexander, Steven D (MARS Bioimaging) ; Amma, Maya R (Otago U.) ; Amjomrouz, Marzieh (MARS Bioimaging) ; Asghariomabad, Fatemeh (Otago U.) ; Atharifard, Ali (MARS Bioimaging) ; Atlas, James (Canterbury U.) ; Bamford, Benjamin (Otago U.) ; Bell, Stephen T (MARS Bioimaging) et al.
Images from MARS spectral CT scanners show that there is much diagnostic value from using small pixels and good energy data. MARS scanners use energy-resolving photon-counting CZT Medipix3RX detectors that measure the energy of photons on a five-point scale and with a spatial resolution of 110 microns. [...]

The latest version of the MARS small bore scanner makes use of the Medipix3RX ASIC, bonded to a CdTe or CZT semi-conductor layer, to count x-ray photons and create a spectroscopic CT data set. The MARS imaging chain uses the energy-resolved 2D transmission images to construct quantitative 3D spectral and material images. [...]
