Learning-Based Stopping Power Mapping on Dual-Energy CT for Proton Radiation Therapy

Purpose: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has been used to derive relative stopping power (RSP) maps by obtaining the energy dependence of photon interactions. The DECT-derived RSP maps could potentially be compromised by image noise levels and the severity of artifacts when using physics-base...
