CT (Computerized Tomography) image metal track prediction and artifact reduction method based on integral cosine

2013 
The invention relates to a CT (Computerized Tomography) image metal track prediction and artifact reduction method based on integral cosine. Aiming at metal area part cutting in a metal artifact reduction algorithm, compared with a common threshold algorithm which uses original sinogram data to reestablish images, then cuts an image domain into metal pixels and finally projects the cut metal pixels onto a sinogram domain to position a metal track, the CT image metal track prediction and artifact reduction method based on integral cosine firstly obtains various projection tracks according to a cosine projection relationship, projections on each track are added and values which are greater than a threshold are regarded as values corresponding to metal, so that the metal track is obtained. The CT image metal track prediction and artifact reduction method based on integral cosine has the advantages that the original images are not required to be reestablished, the time is greatly saved, the accurate positioning of metal areas in images is kept as much as possible and artifacts introduced in the reestablished images are ensured to be as few as possible. According to results, the CT image metal track prediction and artifact reduction method can be used in a metal artifact reduction algorithm of CT medical images and the metal artifact reduction effect of the repaired images is better.
