Representative trimmed axial venous phase soft tissue kernel CT stacks shown with and without iterative metal artifact reduction (iMAR) being applied. Note the marked reduction of beam hardeding and streak artifacts caused by the right hip prosthesis.
Case Discussion
Iterative metal artifact reduction techniques can alleviate streak and beam hardening artifacts caused by dense metallic objects such as prostheses and pacemakers, and can thereby improve the assessment of adjacent soft tissues.
