CT Artifact Workshop in Code: Beam Hardening Simulation & Reconstruction

Bring CT physics to life with code. This Python toolkit provides ready-to-use scripts to simulate beam hardening artifacts and perform filtered backprojection (FBP) reconstruction, so you can see how artifacts form and propagate in CT images.

What’s included:

• 🌀 Beam Hardening Simulation
• Fan-beam projection code with polyenergetic spectra
• Attenuation modeling that produces realistic cupping and streak artifacts
• 🖼 CT Reconstruction (FBP)
• Python implementation of filtered backprojection
• Reconstruct CT slices directly from projection data
• Step-by-step code with comments for learning and customization

Ideal for:

• Medical physicists, imaging researchers, and students
• Educators teaching CT physics and artifacts
• Anyone who wants a hands-on code-based workshop in CT reconstruction and artifact formation
