Abstract

When a microstructure contains finer details than the X-ray computed tomography (CT) spatial resolution, the conventional techniques based on segmentation become inadequate for separating the materials composing the sample. Data-constrained modeling overcomes this problem using multiple CT data sets acquired with different X-ray beam energies. The volume fractions of the materials contained into a single voxel are then determined by solving a linear system. The ill-conditioned nature of the linear system reflects into a high sensitivity to the noise. An alternative approach to the direct solution of the linear system, based on the iterative application of the Expectation-Maximization algorithm, is here presented. Different noise conditions are investigated for a random-generated single-voxel problem and for a more complex numerical phantom.
