The impact of imaging techniques and processing methods can be tested with the QA phantom. The same QA phantom scanned with bone imaging technique and reconstructed with a sharp kernel (a) and body imaging technique with a soft kernel (b) showed differences in the smallest bar patterns that could be differentiated. Similar observation for models with the same imaging data but processed without (c) and with (d) wrapping
