What is it about?
Dental implantation and orthopedic hardware, e.g. after reconstructive surgery, degrade CT image quality significantly. This work evaluates a novel CT algorithm in metal artifact reduction.

Why is it important?
The presence of metal artifacts can lead to misinterpretation of findings and mask pathologies. Application of modern algorithm techniques is essential to avoid serious complications and to prevent impairing patient management.
Perspectives
This novel algorithm, iMAR, has improved the possibility to detect findings in different body regions, which could be difficult to interpret due to metal artifacts.
