    This study introduces a novel computational method using singular-value decomposition to accurately estimate X-ray spectral distributions from attenuation data. The technique effectively resolves ill-conditioned equations for improved X-ray spectral analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Computational Science

    Context:

    • Accurate estimation of X-ray spectral distributions is crucial for radiation safety and diagnostic imaging.
    • Traditional methods for spectral estimation often involve iterative approaches and can struggle with ill-conditioned linear equations.

    Purpose:

    • To present a new computational method for estimating X-ray exposure-rate spectral distributions.
    • To apply singular-value decomposition (SVD) to solve the ill-conditioned linear equations inherent in X-ray spectral estimation.
    • To demonstrate the method's effectiveness through computer simulations and real-world application.

    Summary:

    • A novel computational method is developed for X-ray spectral distribution estimation using attenuation data and various filtrations.
    • The method formulates spectral estimation as solving ill-conditioned linear equations, employing singular-value decomposition (SVD) instead of iterative techniques.
