Dual-energy CT imaging of thoracic malignancies
Computed tomography (CT) plays a pivotal role in the detection, characterization, and staging of lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies. Since the introduction of clinically viable dual-energy CT techniques, substantial evidence has accumulated on the use of this modality for imaging chest malignancies. This article describes the principles of dual-energy CT along with suitable image acqui...
متن کاملCT venography after knee replacement surgery: comparison of dual-energy CT-based monochromatic imaging and single-energy metal artifact reduction techniques on a 320-row CT scanner
BACKGROUND An optimal metal artifact reduction (MAR) technique is needed for a reliable and accurate image-based diagnosis. PURPOSE Using a 320-row scanner, we compared the dual-energy computed tomography (CT)-based monochromatic and the single-energy metal artifact reduction (SEMAR) techniques for CT venography (CTV) to identify the better imaging method for diagnosing deep vein thrombosis (...
متن کاملDual- and multi-energy CT: approach to functional imaging
The energy spectrum of X-ray photons after passage through an absorber contains information about its elemental composition. Thus, tissue characterisation becomes feasible provided that absorption characteristics can be measured or differentiated. Dual-energy CT uses two X-ray spectra enabling material differentiation by analysing material-dependent photo-electric and Compton effects. Elemental...
متن کاملQuantitative Image Quality Comparison of Reduced- and Standard-Dose Dual-Energy Multiphase Chest, Abdomen, and Pelvis CT
We present a new image quality assessment method for determining whether reducing radiation dose impairs the image quality of computed tomography (CT) in qualitative and quantitative clinical analyses tasks. In this Institutional Review Board-exempt study, we conducted a review of 50 patients (male, 22; female, 28) who underwent reduced-dose CT scanning on the first follow-up after standard-dos...
متن کاملEvaluation of hepatic steatosis using dual-energy CT with MR comparison.
In this study, we aimed to explore the potential of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) in evaluating liver fat; we also compared the diagnostic performance of DECT, T1-weighted dual-echo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and 1H-MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in assessing hepatic steatosis in a fatty liver rat model. Fat (water) concentration measurements by DECT spectral imaging, MR findings, and ...
