Spectral Breast CT: Effect of Adaptive Filtration on CT Numbers, CT Noise, and CT Dose

Purpose: Adaptive filtration facilitates spectral breast CT by decreasing count rate and dynamic range requirements of photon counting detectors. This project investigated the effect of adaptive filtration on beam hardening, CT numbers, noise, and dose in dedicated breast CT. Methods: Adaptive filte...
