ABSTRACT:
A method of and a system for destreaking the photoelectric image in multi-energy computed tomography are provided, wherein the photoelectric projections are generated from the projection data acquired using at least two x-ray spectra for scanned objects; wherein a neighboring scheme is provided; the method comprises computing the statistics including mean and standard deviation using the neighboring scheme; calculating an upper limit and a lower limit from the computed statistics; detecting outliers in the photoelectric projections using the upper and lower limits; and replacing values of outliers using the upper or lower limit.
