Optimising total knee replacement imaging: a novel 3D printed PET/CT anthropomorphic phantom for metal artefact simulation

CONCLUSION: This novel, 3D-printed, and customisable phantom effectively mimics the geometric, radiographic and radiotracer distribution features of real TKRs. Importantly, it simulates TKR image metal artefacts, making it suitable for repeatable and comprehensive evaluation of various metal artefact reduction methods in future research.PMID:38538815 | DOI:10.1186/s40658-024-00634-2
