Pervasive healthcare: paving the way for a pervasive, user-centered and preventive healthcare model.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:The filtered backprojection is not able to cope with metal-induced inconsistencies in the Radon space which leads to artifacts in reconstructed CT images. A new algorithm is presented that reduces the drawbacks of existing artifact reduction strategies. METHODS:Inconsistent projection data are bridged by di...
