There major components X-ray tube, phantom and detector are simulated. Different to analytical simulation, this simulation is accordance with imaging physics by adopting the Geant4 toolkit. Compared with ordinary statistical simulation, acceleration investigation and parameters optimization are considered. Also,experiments on beam-hardening and scatter are simulated. As expected, this simulator is not only a tool for acquiring scanning data, but also a tool for evaluating dose, the effect of physical, geometrical and potential artifacts and corresponding correction schemes in CT system. KEYWORDS X-ray projection Energy spectrum Computed Tomography ; ; 1 Introduction imulation plays a significant role in computed of time. So, the manufacturers can choose different Stomography, especially in radiation therapy (RT) and parts in order to meet the diverse needs of research and CT system design and artifacts analysis [1-5]. Generally application. speaking, simulation is the basis of CT research. In this paper, we build up a simple frame of CT system The available simulation methods can be divided, in in which three major components and corresponding general, into two categories:analytical[6]and statistical[7]. physical processes are
