    Metal artifacts from dental hardware significantly hinder CT imaging, risking the omission of critical findings like abscesses and fractures.

  • 2

    Various artifact reduction techniques, including iMAR and high keV reconstructions, have shown promise in improving image quality in CT scans.

  • 3

    Photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) offers advanced post-processing capabilities, enhancing artifact reduction compared to traditional methods.

  • 4

    The study evaluated the effectiveness of iMAR and high keV reconstructions on PCD-CT for patients with dental implants.

  • 5

    Qualitative assessments by radiologists indicated significant improvements in image quality and artifact severity with advanced reconstruction techniques.
