J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1979 Jun;3(3):373-8. doi: 10.1097/00004728-197906000-00013.

Abstract

The efficacy of a method of removing artifacts due to beam hardening in computed tomography of the human head is demonstrated on a realistic, mathematically described phantom. An efficient implementation is discussed.
