Graphical representation of the reduced dimension two-channel kVp-S estimator weighting scheme (left) and the four-channel estimator (right) used to compute the CRLB noise estimates. Both approaches use 100% of the available spectral channels, but the kVp-S scheme combines layer information before noise estimation.
