H3D-MarNet: Wavelet-Guided Dual-Path Learning for Metal Artifact Suppression and CT Modality Transformation for Radiotherapy Workflows

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.12252v1 Announce Type: new Metal artifacts in computed tomography (CT) severely degrade image quality, compromising diagnostic accuracy and radiotherapy planning, especially in cancer patients with high-density implants. We propose H3D-MarNet, a two-stage framework for artifact-aware CT domain transformation from kilo-voltage CT (kVCT) to mega-voltage CT (MVCT). In the first stage, a wavelet-based preprocessing module suppresses metal-induced artifacts through frequency-aware denoising while preserving anatomical structures.
