Abstract :
For decades computed tomography (CT) images are widely used for receiving valuable anatomical information. Metallic implants, such as dental fillings cause severe streaking artifacts which significantly degrade the quality of images. In this paper we propose a new method for metal artifact reduction. This method utilizes possibilities which arise from using tri-modality systems.
