Reduction of metal artifact in single photon-counting computed tomography by spectral-driven iterative reconstruction technique.

The exciting prospect of Spectral CT (SCT) using photon-counting detectors (PCD) will lead to new techniques in computed tomography (CT) that take advantage of the additional spectral information provided. We introduce a method to reduce metal artifact in X-ray tomography by incorporating knowledge...
