Quantitative Determination of a Contrast Agent by Multispiral Computed Tomography and Targeted Absorption Spectroscopy in the K-Jump Region of X-Ray Photoabsorption
We demonstrate a possibility of a radical reduction in an effective radiation dose when monitoring the content of a contrast agent in an object with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) using survey data from multispiral computed tomography (CT).

Summary: | We demonstrate a possibility of a radical reduction in an effective radiation dose when monitoring the content of a contrast agent in an object with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) using survey data from multispiral computed tomography (CT). A directional beam passes through the region of interest, the 3D coordinates of which are determined with CT, and the transmission spectrum is recorded in the range of the
K
-jump in the X-ray photoabsorption of the contrast agent. The unambiguity of the obtained results is confirmed by independent measurements of the xenon content in the phantom using CT and XAS methods, as well as by direct manometric control of gas volumes. |
