Abstract
The prototype MARS (Medipix All Resolution System) x-ray CT scanner provides spatial and energy resolution at the same time. It is currently operated at Christchurch Hospital to evaluate the clinical potential of spectroscopic images. The first datasets with a focus on contrast-agent imaging have been processed.
