Metal objects pose a significant challenge in cone-beam computed tomography, as their strong and energy-dependent X-ray attenuation leads to inconsistent projections and severe streaking and shading artifacts in reconstructed images. These…
Computed tomography (CT) is a popular medical imaging modality in clinical applications. At the same time, the x-ray radiation dose associated with CT scans raises public concerns due to its potential risks to the patients. Over the past…
Medical images may contain various types of artifacts with different patterns and mixtures, which depend on many factors such as scan setting, machine condition, patients' characteristics, surrounding environment, etc. However, existing…
Industry standards require medical device manufacturers to perform implant-induced artefact testing in phantoms at a pre-clinical stage to define the extent of artefacts that can be expected during MRI. Once a device is commercially…
Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging and Computed Tomography (CT) are the primary diagnostic imaging modalities quite frequently used for surgical planning and analysis. A general problem with medical imaging is that the acquisition process is…
Inconsistent responses of X-ray detector elements lead to stripe artifacts in the sinogram data, which manifest as ring artifacts in the reconstructed CT images, severely degrading image quality. This paper proposes a method for correcting…
Noise and artifacts are intrinsic to low dose CT (LDCT) data acquisition, and will significantly affect the imaging performance. Perfect noise removal and image restoration is intractable in the context of LDCT due to the statistical and…
Metal artifacts in computed tomography (CT) images can significantly degrade image quality and impede accurate diagnosis. Supervised metal artifact reduction (MAR) methods, trained using simulated datasets, often struggle to perform well on…
Metal artifacts present a frequent challenge to cone-beam CT (CBCT) in image-guided surgery, obscuring visualization of metal instruments and adjacent anatomy. Recent advances in mobile C-arm systems have enabled 3D imaging capacity with…
Sparse-view computed tomography (CT) has been adopted as an important technique for speeding up data acquisition and decreasing radiation dose. However, due to the lack of sufficient projection data, the reconstructed CT images often…
Photon-counting spectral computed tomography is now clinically available. These new detectors come with the promise of higher contrast-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution and improved low-dose imaging. However, one important design…
We introduce a new CT image reconstruction algorithm that is less affected by various artifacts. The new reconstruction algorithm is a method of minimizing the difference between synchrotron X-ray tomography data and sinograms generated…
Filtered back projection (FBP) is the most widely used method for image reconstruction in X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanners. The presence of hyper-dense materials in a scene, such as metals, can strongly attenuate X-rays, producing…
Background: Quantification of cardiac motion on pre-treatment CT imaging for stereotactic arrhythmia radiotherapy patients is difficult due to the presence of image artifacts caused by metal leads of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators…
Limited-angle computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction is a challenging reconstruction problem in the fields of CT. With the development of deep learning, the generative adversarial network (GAN) perform well in image restoration by…
The existence of metallic implants in projection images for cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) introduces undesired artifacts which degrade the quality of reconstructed images. In order to reduce metal artifacts, projection inpainting is…

Computer-Aided-Diagnosis (CADx) systems assist radiologists with identifying and classifying potentially malignant pulmonary nodules on chest CT scans using morphology and texture-based (radiomic) features. However, radiomic features are…
Computed Tomography (CT) using synchrotron radiation is a powerful technique that, compared to lab-CT techniques, boosts high spatial and temporal resolution while also providing access to a range of contrast-formation mechanisms. The…
Motion is one of the main sources for artifacts in magnetic resonance (MR) images. It can have significant consequences on the diagnostic quality of the resultant scans. Previously, supervised adversarial approaches have been suggested for…
