System for the detection and display of metal obscured regions in cone beam CT
A method for rendering metal obscured regions in a volume radiographic image reconstructs a first 3D image using a plurality of 2D projection images obtained over a scan angle range relative to the subject and identifies metal in the first 3D image or metal shadows in the plurality of 2D projection images. Then, metal obscured regions are determined in a reconstructed 3D image of the object, and an alternative reconstruction being a limited angle reconstruction is performed for the metal obscured regions and displayed to the user with an indication of the spatial relationship to a corresponding metal obscured region.
