Raw data-based approach for dual-energy CT analysis. The x-ray paths at the high- and low-tube voltages must match exactly. Material raw data are processed directly by material decomposition, then image reconstruction is performed. The obtained CT applications have fewer beam-hardening effects and artifacts related to the CT reconstruction kernel than image-based analysis
