MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621076597 A) filed by Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune on June 20, 2026, for A Metal Artifact Reduction System For Computed Tomography.
Inventor includes Malik, Maajid Mohi Ud Din.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: ABSTRACT A METAL ARTIFACT REDUCTION SYSTEM FOR COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY A real-time metal artifact reduction system (10) for computed tomography imaging is disclosed. The system (10) comprises a DICOM topogram and metadata input module (12), an implant detection and metal sector map generator (14), a real-time projection data monitor (16), an mA boost command interface (18), a reconstruction module (20), a DICOM output interface (22), and an audit database (24). The implant detection and metal sector map generator (14) identifies metallic implant regions and generates a metal sector map and tube current boost profile. The mA boost command interface (18) applies sector-specific tube current modulation synchronized with gantry rotation. The reconstruction module (20) performs projection-domain correction and image reconstruction to generate corrected CT images. The system reduces metal-induced artifacts and improves image quality during CT imaging.
