| Popis | An increasing number of patients undergoing radiotherapy have pacemakers. The problem is planning computed tomography scans for the patients having metal artifacts. To improve image quality we have tested metal artifacts deletion technique in Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute (Brno, Czech Republic). The data obtained from this experiment is important for minimizing the dose received by cardiac devices. |
