Abstract

Various methods and systems are provided for artifact reduction with resolution preservation. In one example, a method includes obtaining projection data of an imaging subject, identifying a metal-containing region in the projection data, interpolating the metal-containing region to generate interpolated projection data, extracting high frequency content information from the projection data in the metal-containing region, adding the extracted high frequency content information to the interpolated projection data to generate adjusted projection data, and reconstructing one or more diagnostic images from the adjusted projection data.
