Paper Abstract
In computed tomography, star shape artifacts are introduced by metal objects, which are inside a patient's
body. The quality of the reconstructed image can be enhanced by applying a metal artifact reduction method. Unfortunately, a method that removes all such artifacts in order to make the images valuable for medical diagnosis remains to be found. In this study, the influence of metal segmentation is investigated. A thresholding technique, which is the state of the art in the field, is compared with a manual segmentation. Results indicate that a more accurate segmentation can lead to a preservation of important anatomical details, which are of high value for medical diagnosis.
