X-ray computed tomography is a powerful tool for volumetric imaging, where three-dimensional (3D) images are generated from a large number of individual X-ray projection images. Collecting the required number of low noise projection images…
Established x-ray diffraction methods allow for high-resolution structure determination of crystals, crystallized protein structures or even single molecules. While these techniques rely on coherent scattering, incoherent processes like…
We present a practical experimental realization of transmission x-ray ghost imaging using synchrotron light. Hard x-rays from an undulator were split by a Si 200 crystal in Laue geometry to produce two copies of a speckled incident beam.…
The Compton scattering of X-ray photons, assisted by a short intense optical laser pulse, is discussed. The differential scattering cross section reveals the interesting feature that the main Klein-Nishina line is accompanied by a series of…
The characteristics of an x-ray spectrum can greatly influence imaging and related tasks. In practice, due to the pile-up effect of the detector, it's difficult to directly measure the spectrum of a CT scanner using an energy resolved…
This work tackles the target detection problem through the well-known global RX method. The RX method models the clutter as a multivariate Gaussian distribution, and has been extended to nonlinear distributions using kernel methods. While…
X-ray CT dose measurement has mainly been performed using an ionization chamber dosimeter. Therefore, the dose distribution has not been sufficiently studied. We investigated the importance of evaluating the two or three-dimensional dose…
In this work, we compare one-step and two-step approaches for X-ray computed tomography (CT) scatter correction and density reconstruction. X-ray CT is an important imaging technique in medical and industrial applications. In many cases,…
Two full rotating gantry with different nozzles (Multipurpose nozzle with MLC, Scanning Dedicated nozzle) with conventional cyclotron system is installed and under commissioning for various proton treatment options at Samsung Medical Center…
Recently, spectral CT has been drawing a lot of attention in a variety of clinical applications primarily due to its capability of providing quantitative information about material properties. The quantitative integrity of the reconstructed…
X-ray imaging is the most popular medical imaging technology. While x-ray radiography is rather cost-effective, tissue structures are superimposed along the x-ray paths. On the other hand, computed tomography (CT) reconstructs internal…
Proton computed tomography (pCT) is a novel medical imaging modality for mapping the distribution of proton relative stopping power (RSP) in medical objects of interest. Compared to conventional X-ray computed tomography, where range…
X-ray phase-contrast imaging has recently led to a revolution in resolving power and tissue contrast in biomedical imaging, microscopy and materials science. The necessary high spatial coherence is currently provided by either large-scale…
Ultraportable X-ray devices are ideal for TB screening in resource-limited settings. Unfortunately, guidelines on the radiation safety of these devices are lacking. The aim of the study was to determine the radiation dose by scattered and…
Photon imaging for MeV gammas has serious difficulties due to huge backgrounds and unclearness in images, which are originated from incompleteness in determining the physical parameters of Compton scattering in detection, e.g., lack of the…
Due to the high penetrating power of cosmic ray muons, they can be used to probe very thick and dense objects. As charged particles, they can be tracked by ionization detectors, determining the position and direction of the muons. With…
Attenuation compensation (AC) is a pre-requisite for reliable quantification and beneficial for visual interpretation tasks in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Typical AC methods require the availability of an attenuation…
We examine x-ray scattering from an isolated organic molecule from the linear to nonlinear absorptiveregime. In the nonlinear regime, we explore the importance of both the elastic and inelastic channelsand observe the onset of nonlinear…
Compton scattering of twisted photons is investigated within a non-relativistic framework using first-order perturbation theory. We formulate the problem in the density matrix theory, which enables one to gain new insights into scattering…
Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) in the soft x-ray range is an element-specific energy-loss spectroscopy used to probe the electronic and magnetic excitations in strongly correlated solids. In the recent years, RIXS has been…
