Using X-ray Energy Information in CT Measurement of a Phantom with an Al Region

X-ray computed tomography (CT) using X-ray energy information has been studied by the present authors on acrylic phantoms containing an iodine contrast medium. To observe a human body, however, it is necessary to consider the bone. In this paper, CT measurements were made on a phantom with regions of both iodine and aluminum, which was used as a substitute for the bone. A filtered back-projection method and a maximum likelihood-expectation maximization method were employed for image reconstruction.
