Foreword In the past 40 years the field of tomography has evolved from simple X-ray projection imaging, autoradiography, fluorescent imaging and magnetic resonance imaging to production of the three dimensional images of the accumulation of chemical tracers injected into animals, plants and...
Principal Advantage of Compton Scatter Tomography-The principal advantage of CST is the ability to perform three-dimensional X-ray examination without the requirement for access to the back side of the examination object. CST offers the possibility to perform X-ray examination that is not...

This standard provides test methods for the evaluation of image quality of computed tomography (CT) security-screening systems. The quality of data for automated analysis is the primary concern. This standard does not address the system's ability to use this image data...
This part of IEC 61948. which is a Technical Report, is valid for single photon scintillation cameras with parallel hole collimators used in planar scintigraphy and tomography. It is also valid for the SPECT portion of SPECT/CT systems with parallel hole collimators, including the...
Over the past decade, the field of image processing has made tremendous advances. One type of image processing that is currently of particular interest is "tomographic imaging," a technique for computing the density function of a body, or discontinuity surfaces of this function. Today,...

IEC TR 61948-2:2019 is valid for single photon scintillation cameras with parallel hole collimators used in planar scintigraphy and tomography. It is also valid for the SPECT portion of SPECT/CT systems with parallel hole collimators, including the co-registration between the SPECT...
This Standard applies to particular dose-related notification and alert messages appearing on the operating consoles of CT scanners. This Standard is not intended to define all notification, alert, or other messages resident on any CT scanner.
This European Standard defines terms used in the field of tomography.This European Standard contains not only tomography-specific terms but also other more generic terms spanning imaging and radiography. The definitions for some of these terms feature a discussion point to refocus the term...
5.1 Computed tomography (CT) is a radiographic reconstruction method that provides a sensitive technique whenever the primary goal is to locate and size planar and volumetric detail in three dimensions. 5.2 CT provides quantitative volume images as a function of density and element number...
Spectral, Photon Counting Computed Tomography is a comprehensive cover of the latest developments in the most prevalent imaging modality (x-ray computed tomography (CT)) in its latest incarnation: Spectral, Dual-Energy, and Photon Counting CT. Disadvantages of the conventional...
This document specifies the general principles of X-ray computed tomography (CT), the equipment used and basic considerations of sample, materials and geometry. It is applicable to industrial imaging (i.e. non-medical applications) and gives a consistent set of CT performance parameter...
4.1 The major factors affecting the quality of a CT image are total image unsharpness (UTimage), contrast (Δµ), and random noise (σ). Geometrical and detector unsharpness limit the spatial resolution of a CT system, that is, its ability to image fine structural detail in an object....
