Abstract
Computed Tomography (CT) is the most common diagnostic method for cancer and prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in Sweden. Some of the patients that get scanned have hip replacements that cause artifacts in CT scans that make the CT images unreadable for physicians. In this Master’s Thesis an autoencoder model was implemented to reduce artifacts due to hip replacements in CT images. The model was trained, validated and tested on CT images provided by EXINI Diagnostics AB, Lund, Sweden.
The autoencoder was implemented using the deep learning framework Keras in Python. Autoencoders have been used to reduce different types of noise in other experiments and shown great results. The produced results show that the model is a... (More)
