In this work, we present a cone-beam micro-CT setup that includes a CdTe photon counting detector implementing a charge summing hardware solution to correct for the charge-sharing issue and an innovative image processing pipeline based on accurate modeling of the spectral response of the imaging system, an improved basis material decomposition (BMD) algorithm named minimum-residual BMD (MR-BMD), and self-supervised deep convolutional denoising.

Results demonstrate the capability of the combined hardware and software tools to sharply discriminate even between materials having their K-Edge separated by a few keV, such as e.g., I and Ba. By evaluating the quality of the reconstructed decomposed images (water, bone, I, Ba, and Gd), the quantitative performances of the spectral system are here assessed and discussed.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1364\/oe.471439","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,8]],"date-time":"2022-09-08T03:00:38Z","timestamp":1662606038000},"page":"42995","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1364\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Multi-material spectral photon-counting micro-CT with minimum residual decomposition and self-supervised deep denoising"],"prefix":"10.1364","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1520-3102","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"V.","family":"Di Trapani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Trieste"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4009-8191","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"L.","family":"Brombal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/005ta0471","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"Brun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/005ta0471","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}]},{"name":"University of Trieste"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"285","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"oe-30-24-42995-R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"293","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.2018172656","volume":"289","author":"Willemink","year":"2018","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"key":"oe-30-24-42995-R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"441","DOI":"10.1109\/TRPMS.2020.3020212","volume":"5","author":"Hsieh","year":"2021","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
