Reduction of Metal Artifacts and Improvement in Dose Efficiency Using Photon-Counting Detector Computed Tomography and Tin Filtration.

abstract：:High-resolution real-time ultrasonography (5, 7.5, and 10 MHz) was used to examine the menisci of the knee in ten normal volunteers and in ten patients with knee injuries. The posterior horns of the medial and lateral menisci were easily demonstrated. Normal anatomy and pathologic changes could be imaged in the menisc...
