Conventional images were generated with iterative reconstruction at 120 kVp, and virtual monochromatic images were generated at 20-keV intervals between 40 to 200 keV. In this prospective study, patients with metallic orthopedic implants underwent CT imaging using a prototype spectral detector CT scanner. Our objective was to evaluate the utility of spectral CT in artifact reduction in patients with small and large metal implants. Dual-layer spectral detector CT imaging has been suggested for artifact reduction. After initial admission to the HomeAdvisor network, businesses are re-screened if a concern is reported to HomeAdvisor.Metal artifacts limit the diagnostic utility of computerized tomography (CT) for implant-related complications. Please be aware that the reporting in the NCD is particularly limited in the following states: AL, CO, DE, GA, ID, IL, KS, LA, ME, MA, MI, MS, MT, NE, NV, NH, NM, SD, UT, VA, VT, and WY. *The comprehensiveness of the NCD varies by state. Our background check does not exclude service professionals unless the crime at issue is a felony. Businesses or owners convicted misdemeanors or felonies, or who have dismissed charges or arrests on their records involving rape/incest, sex offenses, or lewd and lascivious behavior at any point in time will not be admitted to our network. Business owners or principals with felony arrests that carry a pending decision or who are convicted of felonies in the past 7 years ago will not be admitted to the network.

Our third-party vendor uses a national criminal database ('NCD') to screen service professionals.

We use a third-party vendor to conduct a criminal records search in the county in which the business owner or principal works. As always, we recommend that you conduct your own research on the businesses you hire, including making inquiries directly with the businesses regarding their employee background check policies. Unfortunately, we cannot perform a background check on every employee of a business-the background checks are performed only on the owner or principal. The owner or principal of each business in HomeAdvisor's network (with the exception of Corporate Accounts) must pass a background check.
