Towards quantitative digital subtraction perfusion angiography: An animal study

Background: X-ray digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the imaging modality for peri-procedural guidance and treatment evaluation in (neuro-) vascular interventions. Perfusion image construction from DSA, as a means of quantitatively depicting cerebral hemodynamics, has been shown feasible. However, the quantitative property of perfusion...

Cost-efficient anthropomorphic head phantom for quantitative image quality assessment in cone beam CT

In this study, a novel anthropomorphic head phantom for quantitative image quality assessment in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is proposed. The phantom is composed of tissue equivalent materials (TEMs) which are suitable for cost-efficient fabrication methods such as silicone casting and 3D printing. A monocalcium phosphate/gypsum...
