Fig. 4From: Photon-counting detector CT and energy-integrating detector CT for trabecular bone microstructure analysis of cubic specimens from human radiusStacked histogram of scaled intensity for the voxels segmented as bone and background for one of the bone specimens. For multislice computed tomography using photon-counting detectors (PCD-CT) and multislice computed tomography using energy-integrating detectors (EID-CT) data, the segmentation was achieved by the automated region growing algorithm, while the micro-CT data was segmented using Otsu thresholding. For the PCD-CT, the combination of a field of view of 51 mm and a matrix of 1,024 × 1,024 was chosen and for the EID-CT the mAs setting with the same CTDIvol as the PCD-CT was used.
