A metal artifact reduction algorithm in CT using multiple prior images by recursive active contour segmentation.

We propose a novel metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm for CT images that completes a corrupted sinogram along the metal trace region.When metal implants are located inside a field of view, they create a barrier to the transmitted X-ray beam due to the high attenuation of metals, which significantly degrades the image quality.To fill in the me

A Custom-Built Piezo-Optical System for Visualization and Characterization of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive treatment technique to induce thermal or mechanical bioeffects.Characterising the wave field is essential for reliable and reproducible transducer operation in clinical use.This paper presents a schlieren technique to visualise and quantify transducer wave fields.The technique is based on th
