The polyenergetic nature of the spectra in X-ray sources can cause artifacts and non- quantitative values in the reconstructed image because of the beam-hardening effect. There …
Beam-hardening is the increase of the mean energy of an X-ray beam as it traverses a material. This effect produces two artifacts in the reconstructed image: cupping in …
X-ray computed tomography (CT) provides a 3D representation of the attenuation coefficients of patient tissues, which are roughly decreasing functions of energy in the usual …
El endurecimiento de haz es un efecto mediante el cual la energía media de un haz de rayos X se incrementa a medida que atraviesa un material. Este efecto provoca dos tipos de …
