Spectral CT Imaging by SPIE - The International Society for Optics and Photonics

Spectral CT Imaging is organized by SPIE - The International Society for Optics and Photonics and will be held on Feb 17, 2020 at Marriott Marquis Houston, Houston, Texas, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 0.4 CEU.

Intended Audience:
This material is intended for anyone who is interested in the usage of the spectral information provided by modern CT systems. Those who wish to update their knowledge on the CT measurement and reconstruction process and who work with spectral CT applications will find this course valuable.

Course Description:
This course provides attendees with an advanced knowledge of spectral CT imaging. The course focuses on the properties of a spectral CT measurement and the main applications in spectral CT reconstruction and spectral CT image postprocessing. Many clinical examples of spectral CT imaging applications are provided to illustrate the diagnostic outcome of this technique.

Learning Objectives:
• describe the system properties of a spectral CT system
• compare different system approaches to acquire spectral CT data, such as dual source CT, kV switching and energy-resolving detectors
• summarize various algorithms for spectral CT reconstructions and spectral CT image postprocessing
• list the relevant clinical applications of spectral CT
• explain the main challenges of spectral CT techniques.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
