    Abstract Wireless capsule endoscopy was introduced over a decade ago and is now a widely used tool in the investigation of gastrointestinal pathologies. Despite its ubiquity, the full profile of indications, contraindications and complications is still being developed. Metal artefact reduction is a software technique which can significantly reduce the artefact produced by metallic objects on CT scans. This case exemplifies a rare but noteworthy complication of capsule endoscopy and highlights a novel application of metal artefact reduction.

    Abstract Metal within the CT field of view causes artefact that degrades the diagnostic quality of the processed images. This is related to the high atomic number of most metals and is due to a combination of beam hardening, scatter, edge effects and photon starvation. Both software and hardware metal artefact reduction (MAR) techniques have been developed. Iterative reconstruction software MAR techniques can be applied on raw CT data sets and show improved image quality in the setting of sparse projection data when compared with filtered back-projection methods. Recently, a novel single-energy iterative metal artefact reduction technique (IMART) was released for use with large orthopaedic devices. The aim of this pictorial essay was to demonstrate the usefulness of IMART in the setting of both orthopaedic and non-orthopaedic metallic objects and devices.

    Abstract Introduction: Suppression of physiological myocardial FDG activity is vital in patients undergoing PET/CT for assessment of known or suspected cardiac sarcoidosis. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of physiological myocardial FDG suppression following a protocol change to a 24-h high fat very low carbohydrate (HFVLC) diet and prolonged fast.
    Methods: A retrospective review of patients undergoing FDG PET/CT for the evaluation of cardiac sarcoidosis was performed. Prior to June-2018, patients were prepared with a single very high-fat low carbohydrate meal followed by a 12-18 h fast (group 1). After June-2018, a protocol change was initiated with patients prepared with a HFVLC diet for 24-h followed by a 12-18 h fast (group 2). Focal myocardial activity was classified as positive, absent activity as negative and diffuse/focal on diffuse activity as indeterminate.
    Results: A total of 94 FDG PET/CT scans were included with 46 scans in group 1 and 48 scans in group 2. Studies were classified as positive, negative or indeterminate in 25 (54%), 7 (15%) and 14 (30%) scans in group 1 and in 13 (27%), 33 (69%) and 2 (4%) scans in group 2, respectively. In scans classified as negative, myocardial FDG activity was less than mediastinal blood pool activity in 5/7 (71%) scans in group 1 and 33/33 (100%) scans in group 2.
    Conclusion: Excellent myocardial FDG suppression can be achieved using a 24-h HFVLC diet and prolonged fast, resulting in a very low indeterminate scan rate in patients with known or suspected cardiac sarcoidosis.
