A novel direct‐indirect dual‐layer flat‐panel detector for contrast‐enhanced breast imaging: Monte Carlo simulation

In this study, the great potential of the proposed DI-DLFPD for CE breast imaging was demonstrated with the high iodine objects detectability in Monte Carlo simulated CEDM images. The advantage of generating virtual FL LE images for better energy separation was evidenced by the high iodine objects detectability in DE images. This study not only provides vital guidance for DI-DLFPD system design but also lays the foundation of subsequent physical experiments with a DI-DLFPD prototype.
