The computed tomography (CT) values obtained by the energy subtraction method with a transXend detector, which measured X-rays as current and gave the corresponding X-ray energy information, show the disadvantage that the CT values are dependent on the thickness of a homogeneous phantom. In order to obtain constant CT values for a uniform material, a new unfolding method is proposed using variable response functions of the transXend detector according to the X-ray path length in the phantom. The CT values measured using the new unfolding method are discussed with respect to the energy range used in the unfolding process, the number of segment detectors, and the substrate of the segment detectors.
