ABSTRACT:
An MRI system acquires medical images that may contain streak artifacts. A filtered copy of the acquired image is compared with the acquired image to locate rows containing streak artifacts. Located rows in the acquired image are replaced with filtered rows to remove streak artifacts without affecting the rest of the acquired medical image.
