Abstract

The establishment of a standardized micro-CT imaging workflow which enables reliable and reproducible results are essential in small-animal irradiation. Image quality and a consistent quantitative micro-CT imaging read-out are central prerequisites for treatment planning, dosimetrical considerations, appropriate immobilization, position verification and treatment response assessment in pre-clinical irradiation research. In line with that the impact of acquisition and reconstruction parameters on the dedicated image-read out, has to be evaluated and optimized. This project aimed at the verification and validation of micro-CT imaging data by means of quantitative evaluation and assessment of Hounsfield units (HU) and image quality and how they are influenced by a set of different acquisition and reconstruction parameters.
