A 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 - Analysis of Kidney Stones for Specific PatientTreatment
Regional brain atrophy is a typical structural symptom of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRl) scans capture brain structure with high resolution and are often processed with automated segmentation and parcellation algorithm like Freesurfer to generate regional measures, llke cortical volume, cortical thickness and surface area, which are widely used as inputs in classific...
متن کاملUrinary calculi composed of uric acid, cystine, and mineral salts: differentiation with dual-energy CT at a radiation dose comparable to that of intravenous pyelography.
PURPOSE To retrospectively evaluate radiation dose, image quality, and the ability to differentiate urinary calculi of differing compositions by using low-dose dual-energy computed tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS The institutional review board approved this retrospective study; informed consent was waived. A low-dose dual-energy CT protocol (tube voltage and reference effective tube cu...
متن کاملRadiology Rounds - July 2008 - Dual Energy CT for Renal Stones
Renal colic is a common presentation, with patients complaining of moderate to severe flank pain with or without hematuria. Unenhanced low-dose multidetector CT (MDCT) is recognized as the most accurate examination technique. It shows the precise location and size of renal stones within the kidney, the ureters, and the bladder. If the MDCT examination shows a ureteral stone <5 mm, the stone wil...
