The aim of this paper is to develop a fast and accurate beam hardening correction method
by modeling physical interactions between X-ray photons and materials for computed …

Purpose This work aims at the compensation of beam hardening artifacts by the means of an
extended three-dimensional polychromatic statistical reconstruction to be applied for flat …

Beam hardening (BH) is one of the major artifacts that severely reduces the quality of
computed tomography (CT) imaging. This BH artifact arises due to the polychromatic nature …

The hardening artifacts caused by polychromatic X-ray beams in computed tomography (CT)
reconstructed images increase the difficulty of quantitative analysis. A method based on the …

In CT, the nonlinear attenuation characteristics of polychromatic X-rays cause beam
hardening artifacts in the reconstructed images. Statistical algorithms can effectively correct …

Due to the energy-dependent nature of the attenuation coefficient and the polychromaticity
of the X-ray source, beam hardening effect occurs when X-ray photons penetrate through an …

Beam hardening (BH) is one of the major artifacts that severely reduces the quality of
Computed Tomography (CT) imaging. In a polychromatic X-ray beam, since low-energy …

Computer tomography (CT) is an essential means of diagnosis and aftercare in the clinical
routine of hospitals. Although it has been successfully used and improved for decades, the …

In CT, the nonlinear attenuation characteristics of polychromatic X-rays cause beam
hardening artifacts in the reconstructed images. When datasets contain multiple materials in …
