Advanced Iterative Metal Artifact Reduction With Intrinsic Spectral Information From Photon-counting Detector Computed Tomography

Experimental evidence from a bovine femur implant model suggests that a new, advanced iterative metal artifact reduction algorithm leveraging intrinsic spectral information from photon-counting detector CT effectively reduces metal artifacts and further improves the visualization of the metal-bone interface. Thus, this technique has the potential to enhance the assessment of implant-related complications such as aseptic loosening.
