| Core Tip |
This study presents a mathematical model for improving the precision of relative electron density, mean excitation energy, effective atomic number and stopping power ratio using computed tomography image. It exposes the need for machine learning algorithm that will help with best model selection. Based on the observation that the performance of the models differ based on the type of linear attenuation used (i.e., spectrally averaged linear attenuation or linear attenuation at effective energy), this study presents machine learning algorithm for best model selection. It also discusses the mathematical proof of the presented generalized model. |
