Beam hardening correction based on image noise statistics
Simon Burkhard,

Abstract:Beam hardening artefacts in X-ray computed tomography (CT) result from energy-dependent attenuation of X-rays in matter and cause inaccuracies in reconstructed 3D volume data. Effects due to beam hardening can easily be corrected if the detected spectrum of X-rays is known after having passed through an object. Conventional scintillator X-ray detectors, however, are incapable of measuring spectral information directly. The innovative idea of this paper is to extract information about the detected spectrum from… Show more
