Decomposing a prior-CT-based cone-beam CT projection correction algorithm into scatter and beam hardening components

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2017
A scatter correction algorithm (SCA) for cone beam CT (CBCT) projections, making use of prior information obtained by deformable image registration of CT to CBCT, has recently been proposed and tested for particle therapy dose calculation. The SCA relies
