Purpose. To develop a dual energy imaging method to improve the accuracy of electron density measurement with a cone-beam CT (CBCT) device.Materials and Methods. The imaging system is the XVI CBCT system on Elekta Synergy linac. Projection data were acquired with the high and low energy X-ray, respectively, to set up a basis material decomposition model. Virtual phantom simulation and phantoms experiments were carried out for quantitative evaluation of the method. Phantoms were also scanned twice with the high and low energy X-ray, respectively. The data were decomposed into projections of the two basis material coefficients according to the model set up earlier. The two sets of decomposed projections were used to reconstruct CBCT images of the basis material coefficients. Then, the images of electron densities were calculated with these CBCT images.Results. The difference between the calculated and theoretical values was within 2% and the correlation coefficient of them was about 1.0. The dual energy imaging method obtained more accurate electron density values and reduced the beam hardening artifacts obviously.Conclusion. A novel dual energy CBCT imaging method to calculate the electron densities was developed. It can acquire more accurate values and provide a platform potentially for dose calculation.

The purpose of this article is to determine the orientation and relative position of the foot bones in Weight Bearing CT, highlighting the effect of the load and the shoe with the heel. Thanks to a Cone Beam CT (OnSight 3D Extremity System, Carestream) equipment, three scans of the foot of a healthy young subject were carried out in three conditions: "unloading", "loading", and wearing a shoe with "heel". In order to assess the accuracy of the articular angles of the foot through non-invasive measurements, a measurement was performed by Gait-Analysis with passive markers in the same conditions. The effect of the "load" resulted in a significant alteration of the foot posture especially in the sagittal plane, with crushing of the longitudinal medial arch. The heeled shoe involves enormous deformations at the level of the metatarsophalangeal joints and the ankle.
