CNR tended to increase with the elevated energy from 70 keV to 140 keV in MAR images, while a decreasing trend could be observed in 40–90 keV for no-MAR images and 40–70 keV for MAR images, as illustrated in Fig. 2 b.
HR-CTV HD95 also showed a decreasing trend, although the increase in 140 keV + MAR compared to 100–120 keV + MAR did not reach statistical significance.
