SUMMARY:X-ray CT goes quantitative - Alex Sawatzky (Washington University 
 in St. Louis)

DESCRIPTION:Conventional X-ray CT has garnered great popularity for a broa
 d\nrange of clinical imaging applications. Recent advances in hardware\nde
 velopment towards energy-resolved X-ray CT\, also referred to as spectral 
 CT\, have unlocked a new dimension of X-ray CT imaging. In particular\, K-
 edge CT can be used to selectively and quantitatively image contrast agent
 s loaded with so called K-edge materials. In this talk\, this emerging ima
 ging technique is introduced and the task of image reconstruction in spect
 ral CT is discussed.\n
