Pixel-binning and -masking paper published online (Med Phys)
Congrats to Ken Taguchi and co-authors on the acceptance of his journal paper entitled “Spatio-energetic cross-talk in photon counting detectors: NxN binning and sub-pixel masking.” The paper has been published in the Medical Physics online.
This paper is the first that uses Photon Counting Toolkit (PcTK) and analyzes the effect of pixel-binning and pixel-masking (or anti-scatter grids) on charge sharing and cross-talks of photon counting CT. We think that this paper demonstrates a potential of our PcTK and shows an example of how you can use PcTK to analyze/assess properties-of-your-interest.
Let us know if you publish a paper in journal or at a conference that uses PcTK. We will be honored to add to an archive.
