Photon counting can assist in energy-resolved imaging

By Tami Freeman, PhD

Photon-counting detectors based on cadmium telluride and cadmium zinc telluride offer many advantages for x-ray imaging. Their energy discriminating properties improve material decomposition, eliminate electronic noise, and can reduce patient dose, but detectors are hindered by a limited count rate relative to the photon flux.

Lower limb DEXA analysis can boost bone densitometry

By Tami Freeman, PhD

Dual x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is typically used to measure bone mineral density at the spine or hip to diagnose osteoporosis. But some conditions alter bone density at other skeletal sites, leading to increased fracture risk that's not reflected by standard DEXA measurements. U.K. researchers are now using lower limb DEXA analysis to extend the applications of bone densitometry.
