    Abstract: A method includes receiving, with at least one processor, a first projection dataset corresponding to X-rays at a first energy level projected towards a subject at a first set of view angles and receiving, with the at least one processor, a second projection dataset corresponding to X-rays at a second energy level projected towards the subject at a second set of view angles. The method further includes identifying, with the at least one processor, a metal trace from at least one of the first projection dataset and the second projection dataset. Moreover, the method includes converting, with the at least one processor, at least a portion of the first projection dataset to a pseudo dataset at the second energy level. The method also includes generating, with the at least one processor, a final image of the subject based on the second projection dataset, the pseudo dataset, and the metal trace.

    Abstract: A method is provided. The method includes acquiring projection data of an object from a plurality of pixels, reconstructing the acquired projection data from the plurality of pixels into a reconstructed image, performing material characterization and decomposition of an image volume of the reconstructed image to reduce a number of materials analyzed in the image volume to two basis materials. The method also includes generating a re-mapped image volume for at least one basis material of the two basis materials, and performing forward projection on at least the re-mapped image volume for the at least one basis material to produce a material-based projection. The method further includes generating multi-material corrected projections based on the material-based projection and a total projection attenuated by the object, which represents both of the two basis materials, wherein the multi-material corrected projections include linearized projections.
