Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) enables volumetric reconstruction from X-ray projections, but suffers from severe artifacts--especially beam hardening--when imaging materials with high attenuation such as metals. These artifacts arise from the polychromatic nature of X-rays and are not properly addressed by conventional monochromatic reconstruction algorithms.

arXiv:2607. 28759v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In X-ray CT, metallic objects cause beam hardening, photon starvation, and scattering, leading to projection inconsistency, streaks, dark bands, and structural distortions that compromise clinical diagnosis and quantitative analysis.
