Dual Energy CT (DECT) Monochromatic Imaging: Added Value of Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstructions (ASIR) in Portal Venography
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of the adaptive statistical iterative reconstructions (ASIR) on image quality in portal venography by dual energy CT (DECT) imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS DECT scans of 45 cirrhotic patients obtained in the portal venous phase were analyzed. Monochromatic images at 70keV were reconstructed with the following 4 ASIR percentages: 0%, 30%, 50%, and 70%. The im...
متن کاملA novel dual energy CT-based attenuation correction method in PET/CT systems: A phantom study
In present PET/CT scanners, PET attenuation correction is performed by relying on the information given by CT scan. In the CT-based attenuation correction methods, dual-energy technique (DECT) is the most accurate approach, which has been limited due to the increasing patient dose. In this feasibility study, we have introduced a new method that can implement dual-en...
متن کاملDual-Energy CT in Neuroimaging
Image contrast in CT is mostly dependent on elements with high atomic weight, such as calcium, iron, and iodine The concentrations of these elements can be calculated from dual-energy x-ray data based on their characteristic attenuation patterns Dual-energy CT may can be helpful in neuroimaging to: Differentiate between hemorrhage and iodinated contrast agents in brain parenchyma Improve CT ang...
متن کاملNonuniqueness in dual-energy CT.
PURPOSE The goal is to determine whether dual-energy computed tomography (CT) leads to a unique reconstruction using two basis materials. METHODS The beam-hardening equation is simplified to the single-voxel case. The simplified equation is rewritten to show that the solution can be considered to be linear operations in a vector space followed by a measurement model which is the sum of the ex...
متن کاملMetabolic effect of phenylbutazone in gouty and non-gouty arthritis.
Phenylbutazone ("Butazolidin") is an effective therapeutic agent in acute gouty arthritis (Kuzell and co-workers, 1952, 1954; Kidd, Boyce, and Freyberg, 1952, 1953; Stephens, Yeoman, Holbrook, Hill, and Goodin, 1952; Steinbrocker, Berkowitz, Ehrlich, Elkind, and Carp, 1952; Engleman, Krupp, Forsham, Griffin, Johnson, Green, and Goldfien, 1953). It is a synthetic pyrazol derivative, with the che...
