/ Ostadhossein, Fatemeh (Illinois U., Urbana) ; Tripathi, Indu (Illinois U., Urbana) ; Benig, Lily (Illinois U., Urbana) ; LoBato, Denae (Illinois U., Urbana) ; Moghiseh, Mahdieh (Otago U.) ; Lowe, Chiara (Otago U.) ; Raja, Aamir (Otago U.) ; Butler, Anthony (Otago U. ; CERN) ; Panta, Raj (Otago U.) ; Anjomrouz, Marzieh (Otago U.) et al.
The early detection of bone microdamages is crucial to make informed deci-sions about the therapy and taking precautionary treatments to avoid cata-strophic fractures. Conventional computed tomography (CT) imaging faces obstacles in detecting bone microdamages due to the strong self-attenuation of photons from bone and poor spatial resolution. [...]

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-MD: rejection based image domain material decomposition

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. [...]

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. [...]
