Triple-source saddle-curve cone-beam photon counting CT image reconstruction: A simulation study.
Article in Zeitschrift fur medizinische Physik, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe most common detector material in the PC CT system, cannot achieve the best performance at a relatively higher photon flux rate. In the reconstruction view, the most commonly used filtered back projection, is not able to provide sufficient reconstructed image quality in spectral computed tomography (CT). Developing a triple-source saddle-curve cone-beam photon counting CT image reconstruction method can improve the temporal resolution.
methodsTriple-source saddle-curve cone-beam trajectory was rearranged into four trajectory sets for simulation and reconstruction. Projection images in different energy bins were simulated by forward projection and photon counting CT respond model simulation. After simulation, the object was reconstructed using Katsevich's theory after photon counts correction using the pseudo inverse of photon counting CT response matrix. The material decomposition can be performed based on images in different energy bins.
resultsRoot mean square error (RMSE) and structural similarity index (SSIM) are calculated to quantify the image quality of reconstruction images. Compared with FDK images, the RMSE for the triple-source image was improved by 27%, 21%, 14%, 8%, and 6% for the reconstrued image of 20-33, 33-47, 47-58, 58-69, 69-80 keV energy bin. The SSIM was improved by 1.031%, 0.665%, 0.396%, 0.235%, 0.174% for corresponding energy bin. The decomposition image based on corrected images shows improved RMSE and SSIM, each by 33.861% and 0.345%. SSIM of corrected decomposition image of iodine reaches 99.415% of the original image.
conclusionsA new Triple-source saddle-curve cone-beam PC CT image reconstruction method was developed in this work. The exact reconstruction of the triple-source saddle-curve improved both the image quality and temporal resolution.
