Beam Hardening 2-the no-linearize theorem

Tag: Implementation,Math,Physics — admin @ 1:45 pm
The last post showed that beam hardening causes a nonlinearity between the log of the measurements and the A-vector. It is natural to think that we can eliminate the beam hardening artifacts by measuring the nonlinearity and then “linearizing” it with an inverse transformation. In this post, I will show that this is not possible in general. Although there are some special cases when we can linearize and a linearizing transformation may reduce the artifacts, we cannot do this for every object. I will show that this is due to the fact that we need at least a two dimension basis set to represent the attenuation coefficient.
