Abstract
A method for reducing metal artifacts in CT images, including the following steps: a material decomposition (MD) calibration step, using multiple MD calibration phantoms with known characteristics and multiple spectral CT data corresponding thereto to construct a system characteristic model of spectral CT; and a MD testing step, including: the following steps: imaging multiple testing objects with a different unknown material and thickness to obtain projection-based multiple spectral CT imaging data of different energy bins; obtaining corresponding multiple basis material images of different materials based on projection data according to the spectral CT imaging data and the system characteristic model of spectral CT; and combining the basis material images and a photon energy information to be recombined with each other to obtain multiple virtual monoenergetic images.
