Reduction of microwave ablation needle related metallic artifacts using virtual monoenergetic images from dual-layer detector spectral CT in a rabbit model with VX2 tumor
Abstract The purpose of the study was to investigate the application of virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) in reducing metal artifacts in rabbit VX2 liver cancer models treated with microwave ablation (MWA) therapy. A total of 31 VX2 liver cancer models that accepted CT-guided percutaneous microwav...
