Abstract

Most of the objects targeted for X-ray examination are composed of soft-tissue and bone. We aimed to develop an algorithm for generating X-ray images which can give quantitative information of soft-tissue and bone using an energy-resolving photon-counting type imaging detector. We used polychromatic X-rays for analysis in which both the beam hardening effect and detector response were properly corrected and then succeeded in virtually treating the amount of measured X-ray attenuation as if it were measured using monochromatic X-rays.
