Automatic Beam Hardening Correction For CT Reconstruction
In computed tomography (CT) the quality of reconstructed images depends on several reasons: the quality of the set-up calibration; precision of the mathematical model, used in the reconstruction procedure; the reconstruction technique used; quality of the numerical implementation of the reconstruction algorithm. Most of fast reconstruction algorithms use the X-ray monochromaticity assumption. I...
متن کاملCT myocardial perfusion imaging
Computed tomography (CT) is capable of comprehensively assessing the heart in order to provide information on anatomy, function, perfusion and viability. CT coronary angiography can assess both the coronary artery lumen and the characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques. CT myocardial perfusion imaging can provide additional information compared to CT coronary angiography by highlighting areas ...
متن کاملExpert-guided CT beam hardening correction for heterogeneous natural materials
We present a new method for correcting beam hardening artifacts in CT data. Software correction typically consists of a polynomial transform of the raw data, but determining optimal coefficients is not straightforward, especially if the material is not well known or characterized, as is the usual case when imaging geological materials. Our method lets an expert user guide an iterative optimizat...
متن کاملTowards Beam Hardening Correction for Polychromatic X-ray Ct
High-attenuation object-induced streaking and shadow artifacts in computerized tomography (CT) are somewhat connected to the misfit of the X-ray projection data to the range space of the Radon transform. This misfit is mainly due to the beam hardening factor of the projection data which is unavoidable for polychromatic sources. The major difficulty in dealing with the beam hardening-induced str...
متن کاملCT sinogram-consistency learning for metal-induced beam hardening correction
Purpose: This paper proposes a sinogram-consistency learning method to deal with beamhardening related artifacts in polychromatic computerized tomography (CT). The presence of highly attenuating materials in the scan field causes an inconsistent sinogram, that does not match the range space of the Radon transform. When the mismatched data are entered into the range space during CT reconstructio...
