Evaluation of C-arm Photon Counting Detector Cone Beam CT (PCD-CBCT) for Image-Guided Interventions
University of Wisconsin, Madison
Summary
The overarching objective of the project is to develop a new C-arm interventional x-ray imaging platform that integrates both a photon counting detector and a flat panel detector to provide high image quality and quantitative spectral computed tomography (CT) image guidance will be developed to enable more accurate and safe interventional procedures for patients.
Description
The objective of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of acquiring high-quality images using new imaging concepts and methods. All imaging will be performed in addition to standard-of-care procedures and will not influence clinical decisions or patient management. The endpoint of this project includes: 1) PCD-CBCT data will be processed to generate virtual non-iodine images for evaluating contrast extravasation, as well as virtual monoenergetic (VME) images. 2) Images will be analyzed retrospectively to evaluate image quality and explore potential clinical benefits of PCD-CBCT compar…
