A Method for Correcting Bone Induced Artifacts in Computed Tomography Scanners
Abstract
A method that corrects for artifacts in X-ray transmission scanners created by the alteration of the energy spectrum by bone is described. The method involves two reconstructions of the pictures: the first establishes the approximate distribution of bone and the second enables the artifacts to be eliminated. The first reconstruction is needed to establish the total amount of bone along each ray. Assuming that the X-ray energy spectrum is known, it is shown how the line integrals can be corrected. The method was tested on several mathematical phantoms as well as on human head data. The nonlinear nature of the spectral artifacts is shown to produce streaks in certain phantoms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
