Metal artifact reduction strategies for improved attenuation correction in hybrid PET/CT imaging

However, some newer applications are emerging that can re-center PET-CT clearly in the neuroradiological world such as the investigation of vascular diseases.. LÖVBLAD, Karl-Olof,

As different tube voltages and currents are used in current PET/CT scanning protocols depending on patients size and the region under study, the impact of using a single

We proposed in [3] an entirely automated method to identify knots from X-ray CT images of a piece of wood (log or beam) and obtain data on knot geometry without any human

Results The evaluation of MAR techniques on the simulation dataset demonstrated the superior performance of the DLI-MAR approach (structural similarity (SSIM) = 0.95 ± 0.2 compared

Methods: Deep learning-based metal artefact reduction approaches were implemented in the image (DLI-MAR) and projection (DLP-MAR) domains.. The proposed algorithms were

Recent advances in PET detector technology enabled the introduction of fast signal formation and time- of-flight (TOF) PET capability in clinical PET/CT and PET/MRI systems.

With advances in PET detector technology, time-of-flight (TOF) PET capability has been recently introduced in clinical PET/CT and PET/MRI scanners with the aim of improving

We assessed the clinical impact of patient motion and the resulting mismatch between CT and corresponding CT-based attenuation corrected (CTAC) PET images on apparent myocardial
