Structure delineation in the presence of metal – A comparative phantom study using single and dual-energy computed tomography with and without metal artefact reduction

Background and purpose: Metal artefacts in computed tomography (CT) images impairs structure delineation. These artefacts can potentially be reduced with dual-energy CT (DECT) with or without using metal artefact reduction (MAR). The purpose was to investigate how structure delineation in DECT with...
