REGULARIZED THREE-DIMENSIONAL GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETS FOR UNSUPERVISED METAL ARTIFACT REDUCTION IN HEAD AND NECK CT IMAGES

Regularized Three-Dimensional Generative Adversarial Nets for Unsupervised Metal Artifact Reduction in Head and Neck CT Images

The reduction of metal artifacts in computed tomography (CT) images, specifically for strong artifacts generated from multiple metal objects, is a challenging issue in medical imaging research.Although there have been some studies on supervised metal artifact reduction through the learning of synthesized artifacts, it is difficult for simulated art
