الوصف: Objective: The aim of this study is to validate the effectiveness of an energy-modulated scatter correction method in suppressing scatter in photon-counting detector (PCD)-based cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging. Approach: The scatter correction method, named e-Grid, which was initially applied to dual-layer flat-panel detector (DLFPD)-based CBCT imaging, was tested for its performance in PCD-CBCT imaging. Benchtop PCD-CBCT imaging experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the e-Grid method. Additionally, quantitative metrics were measured from these experimental results. Main results: It was found that the use of the e-Grid method could significantly eliminate cupping artifacts caused by Compton scatter in PCD-CBCT imaging. Meanwhile, its effectiveness was observed in both low- and high-energy images, as well as for objects of varying sizes. Quantitative results showed that the e-Grid method could reduce scatter artifacts by at least 71% in low-energy images and 75% in high-energy images. Significance: It was demonstrated that the scatter correction method originally applied to DLFPD-based CBCT could also perform well in PCD-CBCT, showing that the e-Grid method has great potential for application in other spectral CBCT imaging systems.
