Dual Energy CT Pulmonary Angiography with 6g Iodine—A Propensity Score-Matched Study
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of low contrast media (CM) dose dual-energy computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) with advanced monoenergetic reconstructions in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study had institutional review board approval; all patients gave written informed consent. Forty-one patients (25 men, 16 women, mean age 62.9...

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 کاملCT Pulmonary Angiography: Increasingly Diagnosing Less Severe Pulmonary Emboli
BACKGROUND It is unknown whether the observed increase in computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) utilization has resulted in increased detection of pulmonary emboli (PEs) with a less severe disease spectrum. METHODS Trends in utilization, diagnostic yield, and disease severity were evaluated for 4,048 consecutive initial CTPAs performed in adult patients in the emergency department ...
متن کاملDual energy CT pulmonary angiography: findings in a patient with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
A 55-year-old woman became increasingly breathless over a 9month period. Systolic pulmonary artery pressure was estimated at 50 mm Hg by echocardiography. CT pulmonary angiography was performed using a dual energy technique whereby datasets are simultaneously acquired at 80 kV and 140 kV. Differential absorption of these energy spectra by iodine molecules in intravenous contrast medium is explo...
