Images illustrating the effects of beam hardening on basis image noise. Each row shows the basis images for different soft tissue slab thicknesses from 1 to 30 cm. The thicknesses are labeled in the right column. See Fig. 1 for a description of the phantom. The number of transmitted photons per pixel was fixed at 107 for all four cases by increasing the number of incident photons as the thickness increases.
