Abstract
Purpose: In this work, we evaluate the scatter radiation present in projection images produced by kilovoltage (kV) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) using Monte Carlo (MC) calculations. We also demonstrate that MC simulations can be used to reduce scatter in kV CBCT reconstructed images. Method and Materials: All images were acquired using a kV CBCT bench-top system composed of an x-ray tube, a rotation stage and a CsI flat-panel imager. The...
