A Bayesian approach to solve proton stopping powers from noisy multi-energy CT data.

CONCLUSION: The Bayesian ETD is shown to be more robust against noise than similar methods and a promising approach to extract SPR from noisy DECT data. In the advent of commercially available multi-energy CT or photon-counting CT scanners, the Bayesian ETD is expected to allow extracting more information and improve the precision of proton therapy beyond DECT.
