Monte-Carlo-Based Estimation of the X-ray Energy Spectrum for CT Artifact Reduction

Beam hardening and scattering effects can seriously degrade image quality in polychromatic X-ray CT imaging. In recent years, polychromatic image reconstruction techniques and scatter estimation using Monte Carlo simulation have been developed to compensate for beam hardening and scattering CT artif...
