Beam hardening 4: consistency

Tag: Implementation,Math,Physics — admin @ 2:58 pm
In the posts on beam hardening, I have shown that it causes the estimate of the line integral using the single average energy assumption to be nonlinearly related to the actual line integral. The nonlinearity causes any noncircularly symmetric object to look different when you look at it from different angles. This inconsistency results in artifacts in the reconstructed images. That is, the reconstructed image has features in it that are not in the original object. The inconsistency brings up some interesting questions. Is there a way to test the data to determine whether it is inconsistent? If so, is there a way to subtract the inconsistent part and will the result be equal to the original object without artifacts? In this post, I will review some prior research into this subject.
