Article Synopsis
- A new calibration method for dual energy CT (DECT) using material decomposition maps for iodine and water has been developed, aimed at enhancing the accuracy of imaging.
- Experiments conducted on a GE revolution CT scanner showed that the method successfully reproduces Hounsfield unit (HU) values with less than 1% error, validating its effectiveness.
- This novel calibration offers comparable accuracy to existing methods, while providing better precision, making it particularly beneficial for applications like proton therapy where accurate tissue differentiation is crucial.
