Evaluation of edge‐induced streaking artifacts in CT scanners

Abstract
A phantom permitting the evaluation of streaking artifacts produced in CT [computed tomography] reconstructions by abrupt edges is presented. Its application is demonstrated in 9 CT scanners. Even in regions where streaking is not readily apparent, edge-induced artifacts can significantly increase the variance in the reconstruction. This phantom may aid in the clarification of artifacts in human tomographs.
