Abstract—An X-puted tomography (CT) simulator X-ray focal spot size, detector size etc not considering
based on Geant4 toolkit was developed for simulation of both fan- plicated physical factors. Also, some factors
and cone-beam CT scanners. There ponents X-ray tube, just like beam-hardening and scatter which result in low-
phantom and detector are simulated. Different to analytical contrast image is analyzed in experiments. This simulator owns
simulation, this simulation is accordance with imaging physics by flexible scanning mode, different instruments and physical
adopting the Geant4 toolkit. Compared with ordinary statistical process can be set properly according to the purpose of
simulation, acceleration investigation and parameters optimization research. Actually, the preliminary work is helpful in system
are considered. Also,experiments on beam-hardenin
