- W2997704414 abstract "Attenuation-based x-ray imaging techniques havebeen developed for many decades. One of the state-of-the-artimaging modalities is the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)that efficiently scans an object and reproduces high-resolutionand isotropic three-dimensional images of it. However,attenuation-based imaging shows a limitation in soft tissueimaging where the absorption contrast is low. Recently severalphase-contrast techniques have been developed that are expected toimprove low-contrast details by using the phase information of theobject. The idea of this thesis is to incorporate thephase-contrast techniques into the current cone beam CT systems tocombine the advantages of both phase-contrast imaging and CBCT.From a practical view of medical imaging, two phase-contrast conebeam CT systems are proposed by using the in-line phase-contrasttechnique and the differential phase-contrast technique,respectively. An in-line phase-contrast image is a Fresneldiffraction pattern in the near field. The image is edge-enhanced,and for soft tissues it is possible to retrieve the phaseprojection from a single in-line image. Therefore, this techniquecan be utilized in either of two methods. The first method is toproduce edge-enhanced reconstruction images of the attenuationcoefficient, and the second is to reconstruct the phasecoefficient using the retrieved phase projections. In order toinvestigate this modality, computer simulations were performed forboth working modes. The results using the in-line phase-contrasttechnique demonstrate superior image quality than that of theattenuation-based technique. A bench-top in-line PC-CBCT system wasdesigned and constructed on top of an optical table, and a simplephantom was imaged and reconstructed using both modes to validatethe principle of the proposed imaging scheme. The grating-baseddifferential phase-contrast technique is able to produce the firstderivative of phase projections using the principle of shearinginterferometer. The proposed differential phase-contrast cone beamCT (DPC-CBCT) system was firstly evaluated using computersimulations as well to investigate its application in volumeof-interest breast imaging. The results demonstrate that compared withattenuationbased CBCT, the DPC-CBCT is able to reveal higherspatial resolution at a similar dose level, and the transversetruncation associated with volume-of-interest (VOI) imaging is notan issue any more. A bench-top DPC-CBCT system was designed andconstructed. The initial results from the system encourage theprinciple of DPCCBCT imaging." @default.
