Retained bullets in the head on computed tomography – Get the most out of iterative metal artifact reduction
Conclusion The applied iMAR presets revealed different effects on the image quality. Selecting an inappropriate preset (e.g., spine implants) may result in unsatisfactory artifact reduction. The results of this study indicate that the neuro-coils preset is the most appropriate preset for soft tissue, and the preset extremity implants is favorable for bones in cases of retained bullets.
