non-calcified coronary artery plaque characterization by dual energy computed tomography (dect)
background one of the most important causes of mortality in developed and developing countries is coronary artery disease. coronary artery disease (cad) may develop by deposition of lipid, fibrous or calcified debris on the surface of the coronary artery lumen. fibrous plaque and calcified plaque may cause substantial stenosis of coronary arteries leading to ischemia of heart muscle while lipid...
متن کاملBrown adipose tissue in humans: detection and functional analysis using PET (positron emission tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and DECT (dual energy computed tomography).
If the beneficial effects of brown adipose tissue (BAT) on whole body metabolism, as observed in nonhuman experimental models, are to be translated to humans, tools that accurately measure how BAT influences human metabolism will be required. This chapter discusses such techniques, how they can be used, what they can measure and also some of their limitations. The focus is on detection and func...
متن کاملDual energy computed tomography for explosive detection
Single energy computed tomography (CT) scanners use measurements of densities to detect explosives in luggage. It is desirable to apply dual energy techniques to these CT scanners to obtain atomic number measurements to reduce false alarm rates. However, the direct application of existing dual energy techniques has practical problems, such as, approximation errors and lack of boundary constrain...
متن کاملTophaceous Gout in an Anorectic Patient Visualized by Dual Energy Computed Tomography (DECT)
BACKGROUND Gout is characterized by deposition of uric acid crystals (monosodium urate) in tissues and fluids. This can cause acute inflammatory arthritis. The 2015 ACR/EULAR criteria for the diagnosis of gout include dual energy computed tomography (DECT)-demonstrated monosodium urate crystals as a new criterion. DECT is a spectral decomposition that permits recognition of different types of t...
متن کاملOptimization of dual-saturation single bolus acquisition for quantitative cardiac perfusion and myocardial blood flow maps
BACKGROUND In-vivo quantification of cardiac perfusion is of great research and clinical value. The dual-bolus strategy is universally used in clinical protocols but has known limitations. The dual-saturation acquisition strategy has been proposed as a more accurate alternative, but has not been validated across the wide range of perfusion rates encountered clinically. Dual-saturation acquisiti...
