Development of CT Metal Artifact Reduction Algorithm for use in Radiotherapy Treatment Planning System

Computed Tomography (CT) images serve many benefit in radiology as well as radiotherapy treatment. Unfortunately the metal type inhomogeneities such as metal amalgam results a metal streak artifact in the images and thus raise errors in treatment planning system (TPS) [1,2]. In radiotherapy erro...

Description
Summary:Computed Tomography (CT) images serve many benefit in radiology as well as radiotherapy treatment. Unfortunately the metal type inhomogeneities such as metal amalgam results a metal streak artifact in the images and thus raise errors in treatment planning system (TPS) [1,2]. In radiotherapy errors of radiation delivery can cause various side effects to patient. For this reason a metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm was developed in MATLAB platform to give a satisfaction in image quality and thus to TPS.
