Abstract buet.ac.bd 1Department of Electrical and Background: Ring artifacts are the concentric rings superimposed on the tomographic Electronic Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and images often caused by the defective and insufficient calibrated detector elements as Technology, Bangladesh well as by the damaged scintillator crystals of the flat panel detector. It may be also Full list of author information is generated by objects attenuating X-rays very differently in different projection direction. available at the end of the article Ring artifact reduction techniques so far reported in the literature can be broadly classified into two groups. One category of the approaches is based on the sinogram processing also known as the pre-processing techniques and the other category of techniques perform processing on the 2-D reconstructed images, recognized as the post-processing techniques in the literature. The strength and weakness of these categories of approaches are yet to be explored from a common platform. Method: In this paper, a comparative study of the two categories of ring artifact reducti
