Blooming Artifact Reduction in Coronary Artery Calcification by A New De-blooming Algorithm: Initial Study

The aim of this study was to investigate the use of de-blooming algorithm in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for optimal evaluation of calcified plaques. Calcified plaques were simulated on a coronary vessel phantom and a cardiac motion phantom. Two convolution kernels, standard (STND) and high-defin...
