抄録: | We evaluated two dual-energy cone-beam computed tomography (DE-CBCT) methodologies for a bench-top micro-CBCT system to reduce metal artifacts on reconstructed images. Two filter-based DE-CBCT methodologies were tested: (i) alternative spectral switching and (ii) simultaneous beam splitting. We employed filters of 0.6-mm-thick tin and 0.1-mm-thick tungsten to generate high- and low-energy spectra from 120 kVp X-rays, respectively. The spectral switching method was imitated by two half scans with different filters (pseudo-switching). Filters were placed and between the X-ray tube and a phantom (‘1-u, ’ ‘2-u’), a phantom and a flat panel detector (‘1-d, ’ ‘2-d’), and compared with (iii) two half scans at 80 and 140 kVp [pseudo-(80, 140)]. For the splitting method, two half-width filters were aligned along a rotating axis. Projections were separated into halves and merged with corresponding areas of opposed projections after one full rotation. A solid 30-mm-diameter acrylic phantom and an acrylic phantom with four 5-mm-diameter titanium rods were used. DE images were generated by weighted summation of the high- and low-energy images. The blending factor was changed from 0 to +5 in increments of 0.01. Relative errors (REs) of the linear attenuation coefficients of the two phantoms and the contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) between the titanium and acrylic regions were compared. All methods showed zero REs except for the method (2-d). CNRs for pseudo-switching with upstream placement were 1.4-fold larger than CNRs for the pseudo-(80, 140) method. CNRs for the downstream placements were small. It was concluded that the pseudo-switching method with upstream placement is appropriate for reducing metal artifacts. |
