Description

Artifacts can seriously degrade the quality of CT images which can make the images diagnostically unusable. To optimize image quality, it is necessary to understand why artifacts occur and how they can be suppressed. In following studies two metal artifact reduction algorithms SMAR (Smart Metal Artifacts Reduction) on GE optima 580W and OMAR (Orthopedic - Metal Artifact Reduction) on Philips ICT 256 are used
