Ultrafast cone-beam CT scatter correction with GPU-based Monte Carlo simulation

<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>Scatter artifacts severely degrade image quality of cone-beam CT (CBCT). We present an ultrafast scatter correction framework by using GPU-based Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and prior patient CT image, aiming at automatically finish the whole process inc...
