Effects of Dental Metal Implant Number and Configuration on PET/CT Quantification and Image Quality: A Phantom-Based Study.
INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES Dental metal implants can generate artifacts in PET/CT imaging, particularly in the head and neck region, affecting quantitative accuracy. This study evaluated variations in standardized uptake value (SUV), contrast (C), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) across predefined dental implant configur...
