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 (Source: Health Physics)

An image-based metal artifact reduction technique utilizing forward projection in computed tomography
Radiol Phys Technol. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1007/s12194-024-00790-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe projection data generated via the forward projection of a computed tomography (CT) image (FP-data) have useful potentials in cases where only image data are available. However, there is a question of whether the FP-data generated from an image severely corrupted by metal artifacts can be used for the metal artifact reduction (MAR). The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a MAR technique using FP-data by comparing its performance with that of a conventional robust MAR using projection data normalization (...

Association Between Leg Muscle Thickness and Walking Test with the Haemophilia-Specific Functional Parameters
CONCLUSION: Muscle thickness and the distance of 6MWT were linked to assessment of joint health, quality of life and activity participation in PWH. Ultrasound measurement of muscle thickness and walking test appear to be useful tools for the assessment of joint health and functional status in PWH.PMID:38547026 | DOI:10.1097/PHM.0000000000002482 (Source: Health Physics)
