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...

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...

Background:

Metal artifacts in computed tomography (CT) images degrade diagnostic quality.
Existing metal artifact reduction (MAR) methods, including interpolation-based and prior-based techniques, have limitations.
Segmentation-based prior images in MAR can lead to residual artifacts and tissue loss.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel fusion prior-based metal artifact reduction (FP-MAR) method.
To overcome the limitations of segmentation-based prior images in MAR.
To improve artifact suppression and tissue preservation in CT images with metal implants.

Main Methods:

The FP-MAR method involves precorrecting the image using interpolation-based MAR and an edge-preserving filter.
A prior image is generated by fusing the precorrected image with the metal-removed original image.
This prior image guides surrogate data estimation via forward projection and replacement techniques.

Main Results:

The proposed FP-MAR method effectively reduces metal artifacts in both simulated and clinical CT images.
FP-MAR demonstrates superior performance in artifact suppression compared to existing MAR methods.
The method shows enhanced preservation of tissue features in the corrected images.

Conclusions:

The FP-MAR method provides better estimates of surrogate data for prior-based MAR.
The fusion-based prior image preserves more tissue information than segmentation-based approaches.
FP-MAR is effective across various clinical cases with diverse metal implant characteristics.
