Beam hardening in CBCT. Top: axial slice of a small-sized phantom containing an aluminium cylinder. Bottom: plot profiles showing the variation of grey values along the diameter of the cylinder owing to beam hardening. A higher kVp reduces beam hardening; a change in mAs affects noise but not beam hardening.
