Abstract
Systems and methods for reconstructing images for computed tomography are provided. Image reconstruction can be based on a realistic polychromatic physical model, and can include use of both an analytical algorithm and a single-variable optimization method. The optimization method can be used to solve the non-linear polychromatic X-ray integral model in the projection domain, resulting in an accurate decomposition for sinograms of two physical basis components.
