Learn about the optimization of THL masks for the Medipix Quad to address ring artifacts in CT scans. This study explores the impact of variations in lower thresholds on counting behavior, offers solutions to ring artifacts, and analyzes mask quality parameters. Discover how noise equalization and flatfields can enhance image quality and precise calculations for optimum THS. Improve your understanding of mask quality as a count rate-independent parameter for image fidelity.

Ringartefacts in CT Problem: variations in lower threshold lead to differing counting behavior for every pixel (‘gain’) -> ringartefacts in computed tomography
Equalization using Flatfields Histogram of Flatfields: THL-maskbit 0, 7; different THS -> calculate width and distance of distributions
Optimum THS linear fit of right boundary of bit0-distribution vs THS -> OptimumTHS (for every Chip on the Quad!)
