EM Estimation of the X-Ray Spectrum With a Genetically Optimized Step-Wedge Phantom
The energy spectrum of an X-ray tube plays an important role in computed tomography (CT), and is often estimated from physical measurement of dedicated phantoms. Usually, this estimation problem is reduced to solving a system of linear equations, which is generally ill-conditioned. In this paper, we...
