Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess potential endoprosthesis loosening in patients after revision total hip arthroplasty, based on monochromatic dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) images obtained with and without metal artifact reduction software (MARS) and comparison with the clinical examination and hip function.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-five consecutive patients underwent DECT examinations. Two monochromatic data sets were generated: with MARS (75-keV MARS) and without MARS (140-keV non-MARS) and evaluated for signs of loosening, using a dedicated radiological score.
