Abstract
A system and method for generating a computed tomography (CT) image of an object includes establishing a narrow-spectrum high-energy bin and other bins with wider-spectrum and lower-energies and acquiring a first dataset using the narrow-spectrum high-energy bin. The method also includes acquiring second or more datasets using the wide-spectrum, low-energy bins, reducing data attributable to scatter from the second or more datasets using the first dataset to create reduced-scatter datasets, and reconstructing CT images of the object from the reduced-scatter datasets.
