Optimal linear energy weighting introduces artifacts and CT number inaccuracies due to spectrum tailing. While optimal energy weighting has the potential to improve CNR compared to conventional weighting methods, the benefits are reduced as scatter increases. Efficient methods for reducing scatter and correcting spectrum tailing effects are required to obtain the highest benefit from optimal energy weighting.
