Researchers have developed VoxelSynth3D, a novel framework designed to reduce metal artifacts in CT scans without requiring raw projection data or scanner-specific models. This training-free, 3D image-domain approach preserves implant voxels while correcting artifacts in surrounding tissues. The framework was evaluated using a newly constructed synthetic benchmark, Synthetic CLINIC-Metal, and demonstrated a reduction in RMSE by 15.30 HU compared to existing methods, improving every case and outperforming a 3D Gaussian smoother.
