• Abstract: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is widely used in dentistry for diagnostics and treatment planning. CBCT Imaging has a long acquisition time and consequently, the patient is likely to move. This motion causes significant artifacts in the reconstructed data which may lead to misdiagnosis. Existing motion correction algorithms only address this issue partially, struggling with inconsistencies due to truncation, accuracy, and execution speed. On the other hand, a short-scan reconstruction using a subset of motion-free projections with appropriate weighting methods can have a sufficient clinical image quality for most diagnostic purposes. Therefore, a framework is used in this study to extract the motion-free part of the scanned projections with which a clean short-scan volume can be reconstructed without using correction algorithms. Motion artifacts are detected using deep learning with a slice-based prediction scheme followed by volume averaging to get the final result. A realistic motion simulation strategy and data augmentation has been implemented to address data scarcity. The framework has been validated by testing it with real motion-affected data while the model was trained only with simulated motion data. This shows the feasibility to apply the proposed framework to a broad variety of motion cases for further research.

  This study analyzes the influence of a spline-based motion model within an existing rigid motion compensation algorithm for cone-beam CT. Results demonstrate that the choice of motion model crucially influences recoverable frequencies. Ultimately, the optimal motion model is dependent on the imaged anatomy, clinical use case, and scanning protocol.

  This paper introduces MAsked MOtion Correction (MAMOC), a novel method to address the issue of Retrospective Artifact Correction (RAC) in motion-affected MRI brain scans. MAMOC uses masked autoencoding self-supervision, transfer learning and test-time prediction to efficiently remove motion artifacts, producing high-fidelity, native-resolution scans. This work is the first to evaluate motion correction in MRI scans using real motion data on a public dataset, showing that MAMOC achieves improved performance over existing motion correction methods.
