Experimental verification of stopping-power prediction from single- and dual-energy computed tomography in biological tissues
Christian Möhler, Tom Russ, Patrick Wohlfahrt +4
An experimental setup for consecutive measurement of ion and x-ray absorption in tissue or other materials is introduced. With this setup using a 3D-printed sample container, the r…

Methodological accuracy of image-based electron-density assessment using dual-energy computed tomography
Christian Möhler, Patrick Wohlfahrt, Christian Richter +1
Purpose: Electron density is the most important tissue property influencing photon and ion dose distributions in radiotherapy patients. Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) enabl…
