Abstract
A method for reconstructing an image of an object includes performing an air calibration on an imaging system to generate set of air calibration data, estimating an x-ray spectrum using the air calibration data, and reconstructing an image of an object using the estimated x-ray spectrum. An imaging system and a non-transitory computer readable medium are also described herein.
Claims23
A method for reconstructing an image of an object, said method comprising:
- performing an air calibration on an imaging system to generate set of air calibration data;
- estimating an x-ray spectrum using the air calibration data;
- and
- reconstructing an image of an object using the estimated x-ray spectrum.
1 more element
An imaging system comprising:
- an imaging scanner;
- and
- a processor coupled to the imaging scanner, the processor configured to:
- perform an air calibration on an imaging system to generate set of air calibration data;
- estimate an x-ray spectrum using the air calibration data;
- and
- reconstruct an image of an object using the estimated x-ray spectrum.
4 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium being programmed to instruct a computer to:
- perform an air calibration on an imaging system to generate set of air calibration data;
- estimate an x-ray spectrum using the air calibration data;
- and
- reconstruct an image of an object using the estimated x-ray spectrum.
