The advent of computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized radiology, and this revolution
is still going on. Starting as a pure head scanner, modern CT systems are now able to …

In this article, the authors discuss the technical background and summarize the current body
of literature regarding virtual monoenergetic (VM) images derived from dual-energy CT data …

Metal artifacts degrade CT image quality, hampering clinical assessment. Numerous metal
artifact reduction methods are available to improve the image quality of CT images with …

Dual energy CT (DECT) has evolved into a commonly applied imaging technique in clinical
routine due to its unique post-processing opportunities for improved evaluation of all body …

It is known that metal artifacts can be reduced by modifying standard acquisition and
reconstruction, by modifying projection data and/or image data and by using virtual …

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 To investigate photon-counting CT (PCCT)–derived virtual monoenergetic
images (VMI) for artifact reduction in patients with unilateral total hip replacements (THR) …

Objectives With the introduction of clinical photon-counting detector computed tomography
(PCD-CT) and its novel reconstruction techniques, a quantitative investigation of different …

Purpose: The novel photon-counting detector (PCD) technique acquires spectral data for
virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) in every examination. The aim of this study was the …

Objective. To give an overview about technical possibilities for metal artifact reduction of the
