Estimating the Product of the X-ray Spectrum and Quantum Detection Efficiency of a CT System and Its Application to Beam Hardening Correction
Lab-based X-ray computed tomography (XCT) systems use X-ray sources that emit a polychromatic X-ray spectrum and detectors that do not detect all X-ray photons with the same efficiency. A consequence of using a polychromatic X-ray source is that beam hardening artefacts may be present in the reconst...
