Fast, automated optimization of virtual monoenergetic images with the dual‐energy image synthesizer for cone‐beam CT
A spectrum of VMIs from DE-CBCT was efficiently produced with 1 keV precision using DISC. Optimal energies for both soft tissue contrast and nonuniformity reduction were quickly computed with high precision. Future work will expand DISC to generate other DE-derived image types and will explore the acquisition and optimization of DE patient images.
