Abstract
In this work we determines electron density using data obtained via CT scanner with one radiation source operating in two modes: with 80 kV and 120 kV voltage. We perform tomography study of calibration phantom with predetermined electron densities. Single linear relationship between energy-subtracted Hounsfield unit and relative electron density is determined. Using determined relationship the relative electron densities of phantom calibration samples is calculated. The comparison of calculated and nominal values proves the possibility of the samples relative electron density determination using energy-subtracted Hounsfield unit with error less than 2%.
