Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Many tools have been developed to reduce metal artefacts in computed tomography (CT) images resulting from metallic prosthesis; however, their relative effectiveness in preserving image quality is poorly understood. This paper reviews the literature on novel metal artefact reduction (MAR) methods targeting large metal artefacts in fan-beam CT to examine their effectiveness in reducing metal artefacts and effect on image quality.
