Actuality of metal artifacts reduction method of computed tomography image / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

More and more patients were treated by surgery with metal implants in clinic.Metal artifacts in CT images caused by metal implants brought challenges for postoperative evaluation and diagnosis of tumor.It also led to the possibility of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.In recent decades,the improved methods based on filtered-backprojection and iterative reconstruction algorithms have great progresses in reducing effects of metal artifacts.The actuality of techniques for metal artifact reduction were reviewed in this article.
