The existence of metallic implants in projection images for cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) introduces undesired artifacts which degrade the quality of reconstructed images. In order to reduce metal artifacts, projection in-painting is an essential step in many metal artifact reduction algorithms. In this work, a hybrid network combining the shift window (Swin) vision transformer (ViT) and a convolutional neural network is proposed as a baseline network for the inpainting task. To incorporate metal information for the Swin ViT-based encoder, metal-conscious self-embedding and neighborhood-embedding methods are investigated. Both methods have improved the performance of the baseline network. Furthermore, by choosing appropriate window size, the model with neighborhood-embedding could achieve the lowest mean absolute error of 0.079 in metal regions and the highest peak signal-to-noise ratio of 42.346 in CBCT projections. At the end, the efficiency of metal-conscious embedding on both simulated and real cadaver CBCT data has been demonstrated, where the inpainting capability of the baseline network has been enhanced.
