High resolution micro-CT images are often corrupted by ring artefacts, prohibiting quantitative analysis and hampering post processing. Removing or at least significantly reducing such artefacts is indispensable. However, since micro-CT systems are pushed to the extremes in the quest for the ultimate spatial resolution, ring artefacts can hardly be avoided. Moreover, as opposed to clinical CT systems, conventional correction schemes such as flat-field correction do not lead to satisfactory… Expand

Ring artifact correction for high-resolution micro CT.
TLDR
This post-processing method reduced ring artifacts in the reconstructed images and improved image quality for phantom and in in vivo scans. Expand
Removing ring artefacts in CT images via unidirectional relative variation model
CT images often have some ring artefacts caused by the inconsistent response of detector pixels and other factors. Removing ring artefacts effectively without impairing the image quality is still a… Expand
Compensation of ring artefacts in synchrotron tomographic images.
TLDR
A simple but efficient method to eliminate such artefacts during the reconstruction of tomographic images by eliminating concentric rings around the center of rotation is proposed. Expand
An improved method for ring artifacts removing in reconstructed tomographic images
Differences in the individual pixel response of detector elements introduce ring artifacts in tomographic images seriously degrading image quality. Removing or at least significantly reducing such… Expand
Ring artifacts reduction in cone-beam CT images based on independent component analysis
TLDR
A method based on independent component analysis (ICA) is presented, which deals with the reconstructed CBCT image and can effectively reduce such ring artifacts. Expand
Ring artefact reduction via multi-point piecewise linear flat field correction for X-ray computed tomography.
TLDR
The cause of the subtle ring artefacts found in high-resolution XCT data is found to be due to inadequate flat field detector correction, so the usual two-point flat field correction is replaced by a multi-point, piecewise linear flat field Correction. Expand
Comparison of ring artifact correction methods for flat-detector CT.
TLDR
A comparison of two dedicated ring artifact correction methods for flat-detector CT, on the basis of different median and mean filterings of the reconstructed image but each working in different geometric planes, finds both efficiently reduce ring artifacts in the reconstructed images and improve image quality.

Joint Reconstruction and Flat-Field Estimation using Support Estimation
TLDR
This work proposes a novel method in the class of joint reconstruction and estimation algorithms, in which it simultaneously calculate a reconstruction and estimate a flat-field, and shows significant reduction of ring artefacts in both simulated and real data. Expand
Ring artifact correction using detector line-ratios in computed tomography.
TLDR
A novel method to reduce ring artifacts by calculating the ratio of adjacent detector elements in the projection data, termed the line-ratio, which estimates the sensitivity of each detector element and equalizes them in sinogram space and can be effectively removed from sinogram data. Expand

X-ray microtomography scanner using time-delay integration for elimination of ring artefacts in the reconstructed image

TLDR
A new OCT scanner based on a broad beam light source and a two-dimensional charge-coupled device (CCD) detector is described, showing that the non-uniform pixel sensitivity of the low-cost CCD detector used and the granularity of the diffuser screen lead to a serious ring artefact in the reconstructed images.
