A simulation study of motion artefacts in computed tomography

C K Yang, S C Orphanoudakis, J W Strohbehn

    Physics in Medicine and Biology

    Summary

    Patient motion in computed tomography (CT) causes image artifacts like streaking. This study simulates these artifacts and proposes a method to remove them without rescanning, assuming perfect motion knowledge.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiology
    • Image Processing

    Background:

    • Patient motion during computed tomography (CT) scans is a significant source of image artifacts.
    • These artifacts degrade image quality, potentially affecting diagnostic accuracy.
    • Understanding the nature of motion artifacts is crucial for developing mitigation strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate and understand artifacts caused by rigid translational and rotational patient motion in CT imaging.
    • To simulate motion artifacts using a digital computer and validate findings with phantom scans.
    • To discuss and demonstrate a method for removing CT motion artifacts without rescanning the patient.

    Main Methods:

    • Simulated rigid translational and rotational motions in the reconstruction plane on a digital computer.
    • Acquired actual CT scans of a phantom to observe motion artifacts.
    • Developed and discussed a post-processing method for artifact removal, assuming perfect knowledge of patient motion.

    Main Results:

    • Observed and characterized motion artifacts including streaking, boundary splitting, and shape distortions.
    • Demonstrated the feasibility of artifact removal using the simulation model.
    • Qualitative discussion on streaking, the most prevalent motion artifact, was included.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient motion in CT generates specific, identifiable artifacts.
    • A method exists for removing CT motion artifacts post-acquisition, offering theoretical limits for image improvement.
    • Further research can build upon these findings for enhanced CT image quality.
