Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We are interested in different procedures and techniques to preprocess and postprocess the data in computedtomography reconstruction methods to achieve the better contrast, resolution or other types of the functionalanalysis of the data. We report the straightforward application of the imaging artifacts treating technique,that is the elimination of the overexposure artifact due to the presence of the metal object, for producingthe elementary image compartmentalization results with the artificial bone sample CT data. Thus, the highabsorption artifacts removal technique is given the complimentary function of the structural analysis andrevealing the metal pins scaffolding skeleton. The basic multilevel thresholding is used to reveal thetargeted structures. The results could be extremely useful for the noisy, unfiltered X-ray source, single rundata sets. The data have been supplied by the homemade CT scanner assembly and processed with thecustom reconstruction software developed specifically for this setup. OpenCV package tools for the C/C++libraries compiled with the MS Visual Studio IDE compiler were extensively used.
