Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of image processing of medical images, in particular to an image artifact removal method of a digital tomography system. Background technique
[0002] In the presence of highly attenuating material such as guide needles inserted during biopsy or large clusters of calcifications, severe artifacts can appear in the reconstructed images of digital tomography systems. There are mainly two different types of artifacts. The first type is caused by Stripe artifacts appearing at the edge of high-attenuation materials caused by beam hardening and limited-angle sampling; the second type is high-attenuation material artifacts caused by sampling angle and sampling geometry, that is, high-attenuation materials should only appear in a certain reconstruction image layer, but this high attenuation material also appears in other reconstruction layers, and the geometry of this high attenuation material is distorted in other r...
