Abstract
A gelatin phantom containing a funnel-shaped region of high opacity (or optical density OD) was used to examine light-scattering induced artefacts in a cone-beam optical CT scanner used for gel dosimetry. To correctly simulate polymer gel dosimeters, the opacity was introduced by adding a colloidal scatterer to the gelatin. In line profiles of OD taken from 3-D reconstructions of the funnel, those profiles with a long pathlength through high OD regions exhibited a "dishing" artefact, while those of short pathlength exhibited the opposite effect – "doming". These phenomena are accounted for by a model that includes the effect of stray, scattered light.
