Algorithmic X-ray scatter compensation is a desirable technique in flat-panel X-ray imaging and cone-beam computed tomography. State-of-the-art U-net based image translation approaches yielded promising results. As there are no physics…
Stimulated photon-photon scattering is a predicted consequence of quantum electrodynamics that has yet to be measured directly. Measuring the cross-section for stimulated photon-photon scattering is the aim of a flagship experiment for NSF…
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become a vital imaging technique in various medical fields but scatter artifacts are a major limitation in CBCT scanning. This challenge is exacerbated by the use of large flat panel 2D detectors.…
Muon imaging is one of the most promising non-invasive techniques for density structure scanning, specially for large objects reaching the kilometre scale. It has already interesting applications in different fields like geophysics or…
Radiative transfer (RT) simulations are a powerful tool that enables the calculation of synthetic images of a wide range of astrophysical objects. These simulations are often based on the Monte Carlo (MC) method, as it provides the needed…
Radiotherapy is used to treat cancer patients by damaging DNA of tumor cells using ionizing radiation. Photons are the most widely used radiation type for therapy, having been put into use soon after the first discovery of X-rays in 1895.…
We propose a novel meshless method to achieve super resolution from scattered data obtained from sparse, randomly positioned sensors such as the particle tracers of particle tracking velocimetry. The method combines K Nearest Neighbor…
X-ray dose constantly gains interest in the interventional suite. With dose being generally difficult to monitor reliably, fast computational methods are desirable. A major drawback of the gold standard based on Monte Carlo (MC) methods is…
Ghost imaging needs massive measurements to obtain an image with good visibility and the imaging speed is usually very low. In order to realize real-time high-resolution ghost imaging of a target which is located in a scenario with a large…
By considering the effect of varying the target radii and detector aperture width on the scattering angle in experimental Compton scattering, mathematical models were developed and subsequently incorporated into Monte Carlo simulations. By…
To take advantage of high-resolution optics sensitive to a broad energy range, future X-ray imaging instruments will require thick detectors with small pixels. This pixel aspect ratio affects spectral response in the soft X-ray band, vital…
In radiation therapy, tumor tracking is a challenging task that allows a better dose delivery. One practice is to acquire X-ray images in real-time during treatment, that are used to estimate the tumor location. These informations are used…
In high-energy flash radiography, scattered photons will degrade the acquiring image, which limits the resolving power of the interface and density of the dense object. The application of large anti-scatter grid is capable of remarkably…
