Dual-Energy Perfusion-CT in Recurrent Pancreatic Cancer - Preliminary Results.
PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic performance of dual energy (DE) perfusion-CT for the differentiation between postoperative soft-tissue formation and tumor recurrence in patients after potentially curative pancreatic cancer resection. MATERIAL AND METHODS 24 patients with postoperative soft-tissue formation in the conventional regular follow-up CT acquisition after pancreatic cancer resecti...
متن کاملArtifact reduction in dual-energy CT reconstruction for security applications
In this paper we present a structure-preserving dual-energy (SPDE) CT reconstruction method for security, which provides enhanced estimates of material-dependent basis coefficient images. In security applications many different materials may be scanned in various degrees of clutter and metal objects are common. Image noise and metal artifacts are often severe and can lower the accuracy of mater...
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...
