Body size and tube voltage dependent corrections for Hounsfield Unit in medical X-ray computed tomography: theory and experiments

The purpose of this work is to present a body size and tube voltage dependent correction scheme for the Hounsfield Unit, HU, in medical X-ray Computed Tomography imaging. Boltzmann photon transport equation was employed to study X-ray interaction with bulk water in CT imaging. Experimentally measure...
