Polychromatic Iterative Statistical Material Image Reconstruction for Photon-Counting Computed Tomography

This work proposes a dedicated statistical algorithm to perform a direct reconstruction of material-decomposed images from data acquired with photon-counting detectors (PCDs) in computed tomography. It is based on local approximations (surrogates) of the negative logarithmic Poisson probability func...
