Imaging performance of a LaBr 3 :Ce scintillation detector for photon counting x‐ray computed tomography: Simulation study

Photon counting detectors (PCDs) for x-ray computed tomography (CT) are the future of CT imaging. At present, semiconductor-based PCDs such as cadmium telluride (CdTe), cadmium zinc telluride, and silicon have been either used or investigated for clinical PCD CT. Unfortunately, all of them have the...
