Question for CT techs- What do you call this type of artifacting? What causes it, and how would you fix it?

https://reddit.com/link/tld8ng/video/bfb28yas17p81/player

I'm not a CT tech, I create 3D models from CT scans for surgical planning and custom 3D printed implants. I have an ok grasp of most things CT-wise but again, I've never trained or had experience as a technologist. Most types of artifacting I can identify or at least google if unsure, but for some reason I can't find anything resembling this. I generally just call it "cotton candy."

We have certain protocols for every scan:

Must be 1.25mm slice thickness or less
No gantry tilt
Must be axial
No patient movement

There's a few more but those are the relevant ones.

So, with those protocols in effect, is this still avoidable? Is it a crappy CT scanner? A reconstruction issue?

Thanks in advance

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
