OBJECTIVE By minimizing imaging artifact and particle scatter, carbon fiber–reinforced
polyetheretherketone (CF-PEEK) spinal implants are hypothesized to enhance radiotherapy …

Simple Summary Metastatic Spinal Cord Compression (MSCC) is a feared complication in
oncology patients due to its potential for severe pain, permanent neurological disability and …

Aim of this study was to assess the impact of virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) in
combination and comparison with iterative metal artifact reduction (IMAR) on hip prosthesis …

Objectives With the aging population and thus rising numbers of orthopedic implants (OIs),
metal artifacts (MAs) increasingly pose a problem for computed tomography (CT) …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to determine the potential for metal artefact
reduction in low-dose multidetector CT as these pose a frequent challenge in clinical …

Background Artifacts caused by metal implants are challenging when undertaking computed
tomography (CT). Dedicated algorithms have shown promising results although with …

Purpose: To evaluate a novel spine implant, carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone
(CFR-PEEK), for proton and photon treatment planning. Materials and Methods: We …

Background: Metal artifacts caused by hip arthroplasty stems limit the diagnostic value of
computed tomography (CT) in the evaluation of periprosthetic fractures or implant loosening …

Carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) orthopedic implants are gaining
popularity in oncologic applications as they offer many potential advantages over traditional …

Innovation in image-guided procedures has been driven by advances in robotic Cone Beam
