Material decomposition with a prototype photon-counting detector CT system

This dataset contains raw projection and flat field scan data for CT reconstruction, as well as the fully normalized and reconstructed CT data for the manuscript: "Material decomposition with a prototype photon-counting detector CT system: expanding a stoichiometric dual-energy CT method via energy bin optimization and K-edge imaging" being submitted to the journal Physics in Medicine and Biology. The manuscript describes a material decomposition method, which is calibrated on CT data and then can be used to decompose subsequent scans into materials' effective atomic number and relative electron density.
