Photon Counting Detectors for X-ray Imaging: Physics and Applications

Hayashi, Hiroaki; Kimoto, Natsumi; Asahara, Takashi; Asakawa, Takumi; Lee, Cheonghae; Katsumata, Akitoshi

This book first provides readers with an introduction to the underlying physics and state-of-the-art application of photon counting detectors for X-ray imaging. The authors explain that a photon-counting imaging detector can realize quantitative analysis because the detector can derive X-ray attenuation information based on the analysis of intensity changes of individual X-ray. To realize this analysis, it is important to consider the physics of an object and detector material. In this book, the authors introduce a novel analytical procedure to create quantitative X-ray images for medical diagnosis.
