Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiotherapy Physics
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Metal artifacts in radiotherapy planning CTs, caused by implants or dental fillings, degrade image quality.
  • Photon starvation in kV imaging leads to streaking artifacts and poor soft tissue contrast.
  • Accurate delineation of organs and tumors is crucial for effective radiotherapy planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance image quality of CT scans used in radiotherapy planning for patients with metal implants.
  • To develop a method combining kV and MV projection data to overcome limitations of kV imaging.
  • To restore soft tissue contrast and reduce artifacts caused by metal objects.

Main Methods:

  • A novel algorithm was developed to combine kV and MV projection data from radiotherapy devices.
  • Selective MV imaging was employed, collimating high-energy X-rays onto metal implants to minimize dose increase.
  • The algorithm stitches kV and MV sinograms, estimating a ratio to handle non-identical imager geometries.
  • Evaluation was performed using a numerical head phantom with metal fillings and soft tissue patterns.

Main Results:

  • The hybrid reconstruction algorithm achieved a Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) of 74.8%.
  • This significantly outperformed simple sinogram interpolation (SSIM=69.7%) and reconstruction from original kV data (SSIM=17.9%).
  • Visual inspection confirmed superior image quality and artifact reduction compared to conventional methods.

Conclusions:

  • A new hybrid kV-MV cone-beam CT reconstruction method has been successfully implemented.
  • This method improves radiotherapy planning for patients with metal implants without increasing patient dose.
  • The technique enhances safety and accuracy in radiotherapy treatment planning.
