This revised and updated second edition–now with two new chapters-is the only book to
give a comprehensive overview of computer algorithms for image reconstruction. It covers …

Although X-rays generated from a laboratory-based tube cannot be compared with
synchrotron radiation in brilliance and monochromaticity, they are still viable and accessible …

Purpose: To reduce beam hardening artifacts in CT in case of an unknown x‐ray spectrum
and unknown material properties. Methods: The authors assume that the object can be …

This paper presents a novel beam hardening correction algorithm for X-ray computed
tomography which can be used in case no information about the beam spectrum or the …

Image reconstruction with limited angles projection data is a challenging task in computed
tomography (CT). The amount of radiation associated with CT induces health implications to …

We develop a new Monte Carlo‐based inversion method for estimating electron density and
effective atomic number from 3‐D dual‐energy computed tomography (CT) core scans. The …

A new empirical method has been proposed for the suppression of beam hardening
artifacts. It utilizes discrete cosine transform based missing data estimation and an edge …

The beam hardening (BH) effect can influence medical interpretations in two notable ways.
First, high attenuation materials, such as bones, can induce strong artifacts, which severely …

Purpose Computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (CT‐MPI) and coronary CTA
have the potential to make CT an ideal noninvasive imaging gatekeeper exam for invasive …

X-ray computed tomography (CT) data contains artefacts from many sources, with sufficient
prominence to affect diagnostic utility when metal is present in the scans. These artefacts …
