Evaluation of Metal Artifact Reduction software in Computed Tomography
Introduction: The image quality of computed tomography (CT) can be seriously lowered by metal implants of patients. These implants are known to exert a significant impact on diagnostic accuracy due to artifacts. The current study aimed to assess the usefulness of Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR) software in the reduction of metal artifacts, in comparison to iterative rec...
متن کاملMetal artifacts in computed tomography for radiation therapy planning: dosimetric effects and impact of metal artifact reduction.
A significant and increasing number of patients receiving radiation therapy present with metal objects close to, or even within, the treatment area, resulting in artifacts in computed tomography (CT) imaging, which is the most commonly used imaging method for treatment planning in radiation therapy. In the presence of metal implants, such as dental fillings in treatment of head-and-neck tumors,...
متن کاملDosimetric assessment of a novel metal artifact reduction method in CT images
The aim of this study was to assess the ability of metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm in restoring the CT image quality while correcting the tissue density information for the accurate estimation of the absorbed dose. A phantom filled with titanium (low-Z metal) and Cerrobend (high-Z metal) inserts was used for this purpose. The MAR algorithm was applied to phantom's CT dataset. Static in...
متن کاملDosimetric impact of orthopedic metal artifact reduction (O‐MAR) on spine SBRT patients
The dosimetric impact of orthopedic metal artifact reduction (O-MAR) on spine SBRT patients has not been comprehensively studied, particularly with spinal prostheses in high-dose gradient regions. Using both phantom and patient datasets, we investigated dosimetric effects of O-MAR in combination of various metal locations and dose calculation algorithms. A physical phantom, with and without a t...
متن کاملA New Method for Metal Artifact Reduction in CT Scan Images
Introduction In CT imaging, metallic implants inside the tissues cause metal artifact that reduce the quality of image for diagnosis. In order to reduce the effect of this artifact, a new method with more appropriate results has been presented in this research work. Materials and Methods The presented method comprised of following steps: a) image enhancement and metal areas extraction, b) sinog...
