Metal artifact reduction by filter-based dual-energy cone-beam computed tomography on a bench-top micro-CBCT system: concept and demonstration

Abstract: We evaluated two dual-energy cone-beam computed tomography (DE-CBCT) methodologies for a bench-top micro-CBCT system to reduce metal artifacts on reconstructed images. Two filter-based DE-CBCT methodologies were tested: (i) alternative spectral switching and (ii) simultaneous beam splitting. We employed filters of 0.6-mm-thick tin and 0.1-mm-thick tungsten to generate high- and low-energy spectra from 120 kVp X-rays, respectively. The spectral switching method was imitated by two half scans with different filt… Show more

“…The HU VM and RED values from these images were compared with theoretical values, and showed good overall agreement. Previously, the evaluation of DE-CBCT has been studied mainly on bench-top systems (Li et al 2013a, Iramina et al 2018, Zbijewski et al 2014, and more recently on a Synergy linear accelerator (Elekta, Stockholm, Sweden) (Men et al 2017). Li et al (Li et al 2013a(Li et al , 2012.…”

“…These approaches used a material decomposition approach based on attenuation measurements on scatter-corrected calibrations images of physical step wedges. Iramina et al (Iramina et al 2018) used a filter-based DE separation technique on a bench-top micro-CBCT system. The authors evaluated a split-filter and alternate switching filters during image acquisition for spectral separation, and found the latter to be useful for metal artifact reduction.…”

“…In case 4, the 3D anatomical model provided by MDCT clarified the stent’s frame’s crumpling morphology, guiding the choice of the right tools for angioplasty. MDCT integrated with metal artifact reduction filters plays an important role in determining the morphology and location of the frame’s misfolding in percutaneous valves [ 20 , 22 , 23 ], caused by native aortic valve/annulus calcifications, valve undersizing or mal-positioning [ 2 ].…”

“…In a study where singleenergy CBCT and dual-energy CBCT were compared, metal artifact with the use of upstream filter on dual energy CT was significantly reduced. This method also resulted in higher signal-to-noise values [53].…”
