Distance Corrections

Distance Corrections

To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

Background:

Beam hardening in CT imaging causes artifacts, degrading image quality and CT number accuracy.
Existing correction methods may require beam spectrum or material information, limiting their applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an effective and efficient beam hardening correction algorithm for CT images.
To suppress beam hardening artifacts without requiring prior information or segmentation.

Main Methods:

A novel beam hardening correction algorithm (BHC-FMAP) was developed, integrating beam hardening modeling into the maximum a posteriori (MAP) forward-projection.
The Feldkamp-Davis-Kress (FDK) method was used for back-projection to accelerate convergence.

Main Results:

The BHC-FMAP algorithm effectively reduced beam hardening artifacts in CT images.
The method demonstrated good qualitative and quantitative performance on phantom and animal data.
No additional segmentation or prior information on beam spectrum or material properties was needed.

Conclusions:

The proposed BHC-FMAP algorithm offers an efficient and effective solution for correcting beam hardening artifacts in CT imaging.
This method improves CT image quality and accuracy, applicable without complex prerequisites.
