Assignee: RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A method for computed tomography (CT) metal artifact reduction (MAR), the method comprising:
receiving a first CT image data;
receiving a second CT image data; and
generating, by an artificial neural network (ANN), CT output image data configured to include fewer artifacts compared to the first CT image data and the second CT image data, the ANN comprising at least two parallel CT image data streams and a CT output image data stream, a first of the at least two parallel CT image data streams is based, at least in part, on the first CT image data, a second of the at least two parallel CT image data stream is based, at least in part, on the second CT image data, the CT output image data stream is based, at least in part, on respective outputs of the at least two parallel CT image data streams that are combined to form an input of the CT output image data stream.
