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.

一种借助有效原子序数分析提取使用光子计数型 X 射线成像探测器测量的软组织和骨骼图像的新算法

X 线检查的对象大多由软组织和骨骼组成。我们旨在开发一种生成 X 射线图像的算法，该算法可以使用能量分辨光子计数型成像探测器提供软组织和骨骼的定量信息。我们使用多色 X 射线进行分析，其中光束硬化效应和探测器响应都得到了适当的校正，然后成功地虚拟处理了测量的 X 射线衰减量，就好像它是使用单色 X 射线测量的一样。
