    • Computational Science

    Background:

    • Beam hardening is a significant artifact in X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging.
    • Existing post-reconstruction correction methods vary in their data requirements and underlying principles.
    • Optimizing reconstruction parameters is crucial for accurate CT image analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a general framework for understanding post-reconstruction beam hardening correction methods.
    • To introduce a methodology for selecting optimal reconstruction energy based on projection data nearness.
    • To compare and analyze existing and hybrid correction methods for CT imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • A common framework was established to describe two distinct post-reconstruction beam hardening correction techniques.
