Discussion

• Metal artifact reduction techniques cannot eliminate metal artifacts totally but it can suppress the metal artifact and improve the image quality in the CT images

• The overall dose distribution difference in the clinical application was within 2%

Conclusion

• Metal artifact reduction techniques reduce metal artifacts 20‐40% in CT images of the treatment planning system

Future work

• Further analysis with phantom

• Implement to the patient CT image

• Improve performance of new algorithm
