Under standardized conditions, while PCCT had almost no subjective superiority in visualizing bone structures and fracture line when compared to EIDCTs, it outperformed in quantitative analysis related to image quality, especially in lower noise and higher tissue contrast. When using PCCT to assess cases with metal implants, it may be recommended to use VMIs to minimize the possible tendency for artifact to be pronounced.
