| Research Abstract |
The purpose of the study is to develop a new concept in CT imaging, and we developed a new CdTe semiconductor detector which enabled us to measure x-ray photons with four energy windows. The detector could measure x-ray photons with a speed of 300 frames/sec with a pixel size of 0.2 x 0.2 mm, and we developed a new material decomposition method and functional imaging method using the projection data measured with the new detector attached to a new photon counting x-ray CT system.
