Development and quantitative assessment of a beam hardening correction model for preclinical micro-CT

The phenomenon of x-ray beam hardening (BH) has significant impact on preclinical micro-CT imaging systems. The causal factors are the polyenergetic nature of x-ray beam used for imaging and the energy dependence of linear attenuation coefficient of the imaged material. With increase in length of pr...
