Evaluation of image quality of a novel computed tomography metal artifact management technique on an anthropomorphic head and neck phantom

Evaluation of image quality of a novel computed tomography metal artifact management technique on an anthropomorphic head and neck phantom

Background and purpose: Artefacts caused by dental amalgam implants present a common challenge in computed tomography (CT) and therefore treatment planning dose calculations. The goal was to perform a quantitative image quality analysis of our Artifact Management for Proton Planning (AMPP) algorithm...
