(1) We proposed the use of boxcar signals for high spatial resolution tasks and flat-field signals for low resolution tasks. (2) We studied the effect of cross-boundary charge sharing with NxN super-pixels using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and an analytical counting model. (3) Our study using boxcar signals showed that MEICC with 225-\u00b5m pixels performed comparably to the current PCD with 450-\u00b5m pixels in general. We will continue to develop and assess the MEICC design. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MC program used in this paper is the stochastic version of Photon Counting Toolkit (PcTK) developed in <a href=\"https:\/\/pctk.jhu.edu\/index.php\/2020\/04\/03\/meicc-paper-published-online-med-phys\/\">the previous MEICC study<\/a>, which has been upgraded for this study by including (1) both boxcar signals and flat-field signals and (2) NxN super-pixel measurements.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congrats to Ken Taguchi on the publication of his journal paper entitled, &#8220;Assessment of Multi-energy inter-pixel coincidence counters (MEICC) for charge sharing correction or compensation for photon counting detectors with boxcar signals.&#8221; The paper can be accessed from here and will be included in the special issue on photon counting CT.
