Metal implants are one of the culprits for image quality degradation in CT imaging, introducing so-called metal artifacts. With the help of the virtual-monochromatic imaging technique, dual-energy CT has been proven to be effective in metal artifact reduction. However, the virtual monochromatic images with suppressed metal artifacts show reduced CNR compared to polychromatic images. To remove metal artifacts on polychromatic images, we propose a dual-energy NMAR (deNMAR) algorithm in this paper that adds material decomposition to the widely used NMAR framework. The dual energy sinograms are first decomposed into water and bone sinograms, and metal regions are replaced with water on the reconstructed material maps. Prior sinograms are constructed by polyenergetically forward projecting the material maps with corresponding spectra, and they are used to guide metal trace interpolation in the same way as in the NMAR algorithm. We performed experiments on authentic human body phantoms, and the results show that the proposed deNMAR algorithm achieves better performance in tissue restoration compared to other compelling methods. Tissue boundaries become clear around metal implants, and CNR rises to 2.58 from ~1.70 on 80 kV images compared to other dual-energy-based algorithms.
In this paper, we propose an Inverse Depth Line (IDL) model of LiDAR data for traversable region segmentation. This model first organizes the disordered point cloud with a 2D structure array to store and index the poi...
