Abstract

The establishment of a standardized micro-CT imaging workflow which enables reliable and reproducible results are essential in small-animal imaging and irradiation with ion beams. Image quality and a consistent quantitative micro-CT imaging read-out are prerequisites for treatment planning and treatment-response assessment. In line with that the impact of different acquisition and reconstruction parameters has to be evaluated and optimized by means of Hounsfield unit (HU) assessment, its quantitative evaluation and the impact on the image quality.
