Metal Artifact Reduction
This project aims at improving reconstruction methods to minimize the out-of-plane artifacts generated by high contrast features of the image. Preliminary phantom studies have been performed on a DBT system. The next step of this project is to test the performance of the method on musculoskeletal tomosynthesis images.
Software
We will soon provide links to the pieces of software developed during this project.
