ENERGY DEPENDENT GAIN CORRECTION

摘要

A method and apparatus for calibrating the detector gain of a dual energy digital radiography system is provided. A basis material calibration object is scanned to create low and high energy pixel data. A regression is performed on the pixel data to derive at least one high energy calibration vector and at least one low energy calibration vector. The calibration vectors are transformed into high and low energy gain functions represented by a Taylor series expansion. An examination object is scanned to create low and high energy image data. The image data is combined with the gain function to create corrected low and high energy image data.
