Relative frequencies of metal artifacts scores assigned to FDCT scans for areas immediately adjacent to the implanted metal object (A) or 3 cm away from the implanted metal object (B). The median P value for the uncorrected and MAR-corrected image pairs adjacent to the metal object was P = .05, and the median P value for the image pairs 3 cm away was P = .03. The uncorrected and MAR-corrected images were independently evaluated by 7 clinicians on a 3-point scale (n = 59).
