ENERGY SPECTRUM RECONSTRUCTION

摘要

A computed tomography system includes an x-ray source (108) that rotates about and emits radiation through an imaging region (116). At least one finite energy resolution detector (112) detects the emitted radiation. The at least one finite resolution detector (112) includes a plurality of sub-detectors (204). Each of the plurality of sub-detectors (204) is associated with one or more different energy thresholds. Each of the energy thresholds is used to count a number of incident photons based on a corresponding energy level. A reconstruction system (136) reconstructs the photon counts to generate one or more images of a subject residing within the imaging region (116).
