Single-energy retrospective metal artifact reduction using adaptive thresholding for metal implants in the abdomen and pelvis
Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography May 18, 2020
Dommaraju S, Nakhaei M, Zhang D, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of single-energy metal artifact reduction (SEMAR) algorithm utilizing retrospective adaptive thresholding in reducing metal artifacts in the abdomen and pelvis. Researchers performed a prospective institutional review board–approved, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act–compliant study including a total of 90 patients with various metals (n = 97) on CT of abdomen and pelvis (Canon Medical, Aquilion ONE and PRIME) scanned 07/2017–09/2018 with SEMAR retrospectively used. They assessed density in the near and far field to the metals. The data exhibit that by high- and low-density metals, SEMAR retrospective algorithm with adaptive thresholding subjectively and objectively decreased near-field artifacts generated.
