ABSTRACT:
A method of at least partially compensating for an x-ray tube target angle heel effect includes positioning a filter having an anode side and a cathode side between an x-ray source and an x-ray detector, wherein the cathode side has a higher attenuation coefficient than the anode side, to at least partially compensate for the target angle heel effect.
