Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

X-ray Imaging

X-ray Imaging

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with X-rays, and by 1900, X-ray was widely...

Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Image Processing
Radiology

Background:

Metal artifacts significantly degrade Computed Tomography (CT) image quality.
Existing metal artifact reduction (MAR) methods often struggle with generating accurate artifact-free prior images.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an effective method for creating a high-quality prior image for metal artifact reduction.
To improve the accuracy of replacing metal-affected projection data in CT imaging.

Main Methods:

A four-step forward projection MAR framework was employed.
Metal implants were segmented, and projection domain traces identified.
A novel iterative reconstruction incorporated total variation minimization and soft tissue flatness constraints to generate a superior prior image.

Main Results:

The proposed method significantly reduced artifacts in both phantom and patient datasets.
It effectively restored tissue structures near metal implants.
The method demonstrated the lowest RMSE and was rated highest by radiologists, preventing new artifact introduction.

Conclusions:

The developed algorithm offers superior performance in metal artifact reduction compared to existing methods.
It provides a remarkable improvement in CT image quality, particularly in the presence of metal implants.
