Synchrotron Radiation-used FXCT (Fluorescent X-ray CT) can detect extremely small amounts of a specific material, e.g., iodine, accumulated in a living body at a high spatial resolution of a few tens of m, which could be a candidate of high-resolution molecular imaging modality. However, at the present stage, the imaging scheme requires much measurement time because it is based on the first generation of CT, or the data acquisition scheme using a pencil beam. Therefore, in order to acquire as many images as possible for a small animal put under anesthesia, we are forced to reduce the measurement time for each data point or the number of projections at some cost of signal-to-noise ratio or spatial resolution. We must objectively evaluate how sufficiently the image quality or spatial resolution is guaranteed under the reduced measurement time or a limited number of projections. In this study, we evaluate the dependence of the spatial resolution on the measurement time at a data point or the number of projections based on experiments using a acrylic physical phantom, which were performed at beam line ARNE-5A,KEK. |
