During orthopaedic surgery, the inserting of metallic implants or screws are often performed under mobile C-arm systems. Due to the high attenuation of metals, severe metal artifacts occur in 3D reconstructions, which degrade the image…
Metal artifact correction is a challenging problem in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning. Metal implants inserted into the anatomy cause severe artifacts in reconstructed images. Widely used inpainting-based metal artifact…
A conventional approach to computed tomography (CT) or cone beam CT (CBCT) metal artifact reduction is to replace the X-ray projection data within the metal trace with synthesized data. However, existing projection or sinogram completion…
In computer tomography, due to the presence of metal implants in the patient body, reconstructed images will suffer from metal artifacts. In order to reduce metal artifacts, metals are typically removed in projection images. Therefore, the…
This study introduces a novel reconstruction method for dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), focusing on effectively reducing metal-induced artifacts commonly encountered in the presence of prevalent metallic implants. Despite…
Low-dose dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been increasingly used for maxillofacial modeling. However, the presence of metallic inserts, such as implants, crowns, and dental filling, causes severe streaking and shading…
The positive outcome of a trauma intervention depends on an intraoperative evaluation of inserted metallic implants. Due to occurring metal artifacts, the quality of this evaluation heavily depends on the performance of so-called Metal…
In several image acquisition and processing steps of X-ray radiography, knowledge of the existence of metal implants and their exact position is highly beneficial (e.g. dose regulation, image contrast adjustment). Another application which…
Metal artifacts in computed tomography (CT) arise from a mismatch between physics of image formation and idealized assumptions during tomographic reconstruction. These artifacts are particularly strong around metal implants, inhibiting…
Metallic implants introduce severe artifacts in CT images, which degrades the image quality. It is an effective method to reduce metal artifacts by replacing the metal affected projection with the forward projection of a prior image. How to…
Deep learning based approaches have been used to improve image quality in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), a medical imaging technique often used in applications such as image-guided radiation therapy, implant dentistry or…
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an important tool facilitating computer aided interventions, despite often suffering from artifacts that pose challenges for accurate interpretation. While the degraded image quality can affect…
During spinal fusion surgery, screws are placed close to critical nerves suggesting the need for highly accurate screw placement. Verifying screw placement on high-quality tomographic imaging is essential. C-arm Cone-beam CT (CBCT) provides…
Since the invention of modern CT systems, metal artifacts have been a persistent problem. Due to increased scattering, amplified noise, and insufficient data collection, it is more difficult to suppress metal artifacts in cone-beam CT,…
Metal artifact reduction (MAR) in computed tomography (CT) is a notoriously challenging task because the artifacts are structured and non-local in the image domain. However, they are inherently local in the sinogram domain. Thus, one…
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…
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a widely used 3D imaging technique in dentistry, offering high-resolution images while minimising radiation exposure for patients. However, CBCT is highly susceptible to artefacts arising from…
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…
The presence of metallic implants often introduces severe metal artifacts in the X-ray CT images, which could adversely influence clinical diagnosis or dose calculation in radiation therapy. In this work, we present a novel…
During the computed tomography (CT) imaging process, metallic implants within patients often cause harmful artifacts, which adversely degrade the visual quality of reconstructed CT images and negatively affect the subsequent clinical…
