Description
This program covers computed tomography (CT), computed radiography (CR), digital
radiography (DR), digital fluoroscopy (DF), and related modalities. Research areas
of support include the development of: flat panel detector arrays and other detector
systems; flat-panel CT; CT reconstruction algorithms for the cone-beam geometry
of multi-slice CT; approaches to radiation dose reduction, especially with CT; and
novel x-ray applications, such as those utilizing scattered radiation, tissue-induced
x-ray phase shifts, etc.
