Abstract
A medical scanner generates a medical image that may have an artifact. A machine-learnt detector, trained from a library of many different types of artifacts in images, detects any artifact in the medical image for a patient. The location of the artifact is highlighted, providing an indication of possible artifact where the image may otherwise appear to represent anatomy or pathology. A machine-learnt network may be applied to the medical image to determine a correction, such as different scan or reconstruction, to remove or reduce the artifact.
