A metal artifact reduction algorithm in CT using multiple prior images by recursive active contour segmentation.

We propose a novel metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm for CT images that completes a corrupted sinogram along the metal trace region.When metal implants are located inside a field of view, they create a barrier to the transmitted X-ray beam due to the high attenuation of metals, which Single Belt Conversions significantly degrades the image q

Analysis of Flow and Land Use on the Hydraulic Structure of Southeast Mexico City: Implications on Flood and Runoff

The southeast of Mexico City is one of the last areas of environmental importance for the region.However, rapid urban expansion has led to a runoff increase in the presence of intense rainfall.This situation is common to many peri-urban centers close to large cities, where the urbanization of previously green areas has had a direct negative influen
