To assess the metal artifact reductions of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) high-energy virtual monochromatic images (VMI) combined with the single energy metal artifact reduction (SEMER) (CANON MEDICAL SYSTEMS, Otawara, Japan) processing techniques for iodine (I)-125 seed identification in postimplant computed tomography (CT) after prostate brachytherapy. Dual-energy acquisition with fast tube voltage switching was performed on a prostate phantom with simulated seeds and six clinical cases treated with I-125 prostate brachytherapy. The images were retrospectively reconstructed at VMI energy levels of 65-200 keV and with and without SEMAR (SEMAR and non-SEMAR images). To estimate seed swelling, the caliber of iodine-125 seed was calculated as the full width at half maximum. The metal artifacts were evaluated using the artifact index (AI). The dose distributions were calculated and were compared among the high-energy VMI (SEMAR and non-SEMAR images) and low-energy VMI (SEMAR images). The blooming artifacts decreased at higher energy levels. In addition, the SEMAR process markedly reduced AI, which helped reduce overestimation of high dose ranges in the treatment planning dose map. The locations and number of iodine-125 seed were clearly identified in the dose distribution map of the treatment planning using 200keV VMI with SEMAR. The high-energy VMI of the dual energy CT in combination with SEMAR is appropriate for the postimplant planning process of I-125 prostate brachytherapy.
