Dual Energy CT Postprocessing and Images Analysis Strategies in Oncologic Imaging,or many institutions worldwide, it has been routinely used in clinical practice, and many of its oncologic applications have been investigated. Scanning with two distinguished beam energies, dual-energy CT has a unique advantage to generate material-selective and energy-selective images. By blending

Dual Energy CT in Head and Neck Tumors, dual-energy CT scan entails splitting the radiation dose between two simultaneous CT acquisitions with different energies. Multiple additional series of images may be generated from a dual-energy CT scan providing new and important imaging data. Applications of dual-energy CT in head and neck tumor

Dual Energy CT in Chest Tumors,ry nodules or masses as a surrogate of tissue perfusion. This has been investigated for the characterization of lung nodules and masses as benign or malignant, for the assessment of mediastinal lymph nodes, and the assessment of vascularity and treatment response of lung cancer.

The possibility to obtain different material-specific (iodine mapping and virtual unenhanced (VU) images) or energy-specific (virtual monoenergetic images) datasets during a single scan may provide several advantages in oncological imaging. The calculation of VU images may replace the acquisit

Lejf Moos,John Benedicto KrejslerFurthermore, novel reconstruction techniques based on the DECT data can help optimize contrast-to-noise ratio in chest CT. Overall, a number of pilot studies have demonstrated the feasibility and diagnostic potential of DECT for oncologic imaging of the chest, but reliable data on its value for clinical decision-making is still scarce.
