Figure 6
(a1), (b1) Corrected projection and (a2), (b2) tomographic slice (dash-dotted line) for a bone sample embedded in paraffin wax computed without (a1–a3) and with (b1–b3) flat-field tracking. (a3), (b3) Histograms computed for 201 adjacent slices from within the dash-dotted box. Plots were calibrated with the linear absorption coefficient of paraffin wax ( = 0.42 cm−1). The reconstructed slices were cropped to the area defined by this box. For evaluating the differences between the results computed without and with flat-field tracking we fitted a Gaussian function. The detailed plots show the fitted function for the peak at = 4.30 ± 0.054 cm−1 (dash-dotted line). |
