Conventional computed tomography (CT) techniques employ a narrow
array of x-ray detectors and a fan-shaped x-ray beam to rotate
around the patient to produce images of thin sections of the
patient. Large sections of the body are covered by moving the
patient into the rotating x-ray detector and x-ray source gantry.
Cone beam CT is an alternative technique using a large area
detector and cone-shaped x-ray beam to produce 3D images of a thick
section of the body with one full angle (360 degree or 180 degree
plus detector coverage) rotation. It finds applications in
situations where bulky, conventional CT systems would interfere
with clinical procedures or cannot be integrated with the primary
treatments or imaging systems. Cone Beam Computed Tomography
explores the past, present, and future state of medical x-ray
imaging while explaining how cone beam CT, with its superior
spatial resolution and compact configuration, is used in clinical
applications and animal research. The book: Supplies a detailed
introduction to cone beam CT, covering basic principles and
applications as well as advanced techniques Explores
state-of-the-art research and future developments while examining
the fundamental limitations of the technology Addresses issues
related to implementation and system characteristics, including
image quality, artifacts, radiation dose, and perception Reviews
the historical development of medical x-ray imaging, from
conventional CT techniques to volumetric 3D imaging Discusses the
major components of cone beam CT: image acquisition,
reconstruction, processing, and display A reference work for
scientists, engineers, students, and imaging professionals, Cone
Beam Computed Tomography provides a solid understanding of the
theory and implementation of this revolutionary technology.
