First, the metal image is segmented from the original CT image by the pre-set threshold. The original CT image and metal image are forward projected into the original projection sinogram and metal projection sinogram, respectively. The interpolation-based correction method and mean filter are used to correct the original CT image and preserve the edge of the corrected CT image, respectively. The filtered CT image is forward projected into the filtered image sinogram. According to the position of the metal sinogram in the original sinogram and filtered image sinogram, the corresponding sinograms PM^D （ in the original sinogram） and PM^C （ in the filtered image sinogram）can be acquired from the original sinogram and filtered image sinogram, respectively. Then, PM^D and PM^C are fused into the fused metal sinogram PM^F according to a certain proportion.The final sinogram can be acquired by fusing PM^F , PM^D and the original sinogram P^O. Finally, the final sinogram is reconstructed into the corrected CT image and metal information is compensated into the corrected CT image.Experiments on clinical images demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively reduce metal artifacts. A comparison with classical metal artifacts correction methods shows that the proposed metal artifacts correction method performs better in metal artifacts suppression and tissue feature preservation.展开更多
