Automatic recognition and analysis of metal streak artifacts in head and neck computed tomography for radiomics modeling

Background and purpose: Computed tomography (CT) radiomics of head and neck cancer (HNC) images is susceptible to dental implant artifacts. This work devised and validated an automated algorithm to detect CT metal artifacts and investigate their impact on subsequent radiomics analyses. A new method...
