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. [...]

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. [...]

Per-pixel energy calibration of photon counting detectors

Energy resolving performance of spectral CT systems is influenced by the accuracy of the detector's energy calibration. Global energy calibration maps a given threshold to the average energy response of all pixels of the detector. [...]

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. [...]
