In the first stage, an image-to-image deep learning network is employed to mitigate metal-related artifacts. In the second stage, a 3D maxillofacial model is constructed by segmenting the bones from the dental CBCT image corrected.

• Abstract: Low-dose dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been increasingly used for maxillofacial modeling. However, the presence of metallic inserts, such as implants, crowns, and dental filling, causes severe streaking and shading artifacts in a CBCT image and loss of the morphological structures of the teeth, which consequently prevents accurate segmentation of bones. A two-stage metal artifact reduction method is proposed for accurate 3D low-dose maxillofacial CBCT modeling, where a key idea is to utilize explicit tooth shape prior information from intra-oral scan data whose acquisition does not require any extra radiation exposure. In the first stage, an image-to-image deep learning network is employed to mitigate metal-related artifacts. To improve the learning ability, the proposed network is designed to take advantage of the intra-oral scan data as side-inputs and perform multi-task learning of auxiliary tooth segmentation. In the second stage, a 3D maxillofacial model is constructed by segmenting the bones from the dental CBCT image corrected in the first stage. For accurate bone segmentation, weighted thresholding is applied, wherein the weighting region is determined depending on the geometry of the intra-oral scan data. Because acquiring a paired training dataset of metal-artifact-free and metal artifact-affected dental CBCT images is challenging in clinical practice, an automatic method of generating a realistic dataset according to the CBCT physics model is introduced. Numerical simulations and clinical experiments show the feasibility of the proposed method, which takes advantage of tooth surface information from intra-oral scan data in 3D low dose maxillofacial CBCT modeling.
