This master thesis evaluated the optimal tube voltage for low-contrast imaging of a Cone-Beam micro-CT system (intended for small animal imaging) built at the School of Technology and Health (STH) of the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). The main goal of this work was to calibrate the above-mentioned device (composed moreover by a Hamamatsu microfocus L10951-01 X-ray tube, a CMOS flat panel Hamamatsu C7942CA-22) in order to achieve the bestquality for images with low-contrast structures.

Abstract

This master thesis evaluated the optimal tube voltage for low-contrast imaging of a Cone-Beam micro-CT system (intended for small animal imaging) built at the School of Technology and Health (STH) of the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). The main goal of this work was to calibrate the above-mentioned device (composed moreover by a Hamamatsu microfocus L10951-01 X-ray tube, a CMOS flat panel Hamamatsu C7942CA-22) in order to achieve the bestquality for images with low-contrast structures.
