Fig. 7From: Quantitative analysis of metal artifact reduction in total hip arthroplasty using virtual monochromatic imaging and orthopedic metal artifact reduction, a phantom studyCT values in Hounsfield Units, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and noise for the categorized pellets for conventional (140 kVp) imaging with and without O-MAR and 130 keV virtual monochromatic imaging with and without O-MAR. Pellets were categorized in unaffected, mildly affected and severely affected pellets. Reference values are the average values of all the pellets in the phantom without insertion of prosthesesBack to article page
