Summary

Combining tin filtration and virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) in ultra-high-resolution photon-counting CT effectively reduces metal artifacts around lower extremity implants. This technique improves bone-metal interface visualization and overall image quality for better osseous microarchitecture assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Metal implants in the lower extremity can cause significant artifacts in CT scans, hindering the assessment of surrounding bone.
  • Ultra-high-resolution photon-counting CT (UHR-PCCT) offers improved spatial resolution but can still be affected by metal artifacts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of combining tin prefiltration with virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) for reducing metal artifacts.
  • To assess the impact of this combination on osseous microarchitecture depiction in UHR-PCCT of the lower extremity.

Main Methods:

  • 117 patients with lower extremity metal implants underwent UHR-PCCT using tin filtration.
  • Data were reconstructed using polychromatic (T3D) and VMI (70, 110, 150, 190 keV) techniques.
  • Image quality, artifact extent, and bone-metal interface interpretability were quantitatively and qualitatively assessed.

Main Results:

  • VMI at higher keV levels (≥110 keV) significantly reduced metal artifacts compared to T3D and lower keV VMI.
  • Image noise was lowest for VMI at 110-190 keV.
  • VMI at 110 keV provided superior bone-metal interface interpretability, with overall best image quality observed at 110 and 150 keV.

Conclusions:

  • Tin-filtered UHR-PCCT combined with VMI is an effective strategy for metal artifact reduction.
  • This approach enhances the visualization of bone-metal interfaces and improves diagnostic confidence in the presence of metallic implants.
