Letter of Invitation

Dear colleagues,

the "International Conference on Image Formation in X-ray Computed Tomography", widely known as "The CT Meeting", is dedicated to basic problems related to X-ray CT. It is a friendly, informal, workshop-style meeting where most experts in this field come together. The participants, about two hundred scientists, researchers and students, have the unique chance to present, discuss and understand the latest techniques of CT design, acquisition technology, image reconstruction, artifact reduction, dose management, etc.

We welcome submissions on all topics that are related to image formation in CT. Ideal submissions will clearly demonstrate the impact of the investigated technology on the CT image. Evaluations with computer simulations and real data are both acceptable. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Artifact reduction
• Breast imaging
• Contrast agent and X-ray dose reduction
• Deep learning and generative models
• Dose assessment
• Dual and multi-energy imaging
• Dynamic and perfusion imaging
• Geometric and spectral calibration
• Image quality and dose assessment
• Image reconstruction
• Industrial CT
• Motion compensation
• New data acquisition geometries
• Non-destructive testing
• Novel CT technologies
• Phase-contrast and dark-field imaging
• Photon-counting CT
• Quantum computing applications
• Security applications
• Small animal imaging
• ...
