| Research Abstract |
The third generation Compton scattered X-ray CT system was fabricated by combining a X-ray tube, a fan-beam collimator, a rotational stage, a parallel plate collimator and flat-panel X-ray imager. Through basic experiments, we confirmed the third generation system can obtain the scattered X-ray CT image within feasible measurement time. In addition, the combining CT technique between transmissionand Compton scattered X-ray CT was confirmed to obtain a more accurate electron density image with same image quality as the conventional X-ray CT.
