A 65-year-old male patient, who had undergone an ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation) procedure for a lateral femoral neck fracture the previous year, was referred to the CT department for a follow-up assessment. A Dual Energy CT scan was performed using monoenergetic imaging to reduce the metal artifacts.

The outcomes by Siemens Healthineers customers described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer’s unique setting. Since there is no “typical” hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption) there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
