Abstract
The present approach relates to scatter correction of signals acquired using radiation detectors on a pixel-by-pixel basis. In certain implementations, the systems and methods disclosed herein facilitate scatter correction for signals generated using a detector having segmented detector elements, such as may be present in an energy-resolving, photon-counting CT imaging system.
