• The combination of artifact reduction methods is effective in reducing metal artifacts in CT. • Soft tissue was best depicted in the combined protocol of projection- and dual-energy-based methods, and projection-based protocol showed the best performance for the depiction of bone structure in case of severe metal artifacts.
