Quantitative imaging of bone remodeling in patients with a unicompartmental joint unloading knee implant (ATLAS Knee System)—effect of metal artifacts on a SPECT-CT-based quantification

Quantitative imaging of bone remodeling in patients with a unicompartmental joint unloading knee implant (ATLAS Knee System)—effect of metal artifacts on a SPECT-CT-based quantification

Abstract Background SPECT-CT using radiolabeled phosphonates is considered a standard for assessing bone metabolism (e.g., in patients with osteoarthritis of knee joints). However, SPECT can be influenced by metal artifacts in CT caused by endoprostheses affecting attenuation correction. The current...
