Statistical fluctuations, or noise, in reconstructed tomograms are analyzed as a function of x-ray energy. The result is essentially constant for energies above 50 keV, assuming constant dose and spatial resolution, and is in close agreement with the actual performance of the EMI-Scanner (water-bag model). The noise is inversely proportional to the square of cell dimensions. For scanners without a water bag, the theoretical noise is approximately 30% less.
对重建断层图像中的统计波动或噪声作为X射线能量的函数进行了分析。假设剂量和空间分辨率恒定,对于能量高于50keV的情况,结果基本恒定,并且与EMI扫描仪(水袋模型)的实际性能密切相符。噪声与单元尺寸的平方成反比。对于没有水袋的扫描仪,理论噪声大约低30%。
