Pros and Cons of Dual-Energy CT Systems: “One Does Not Fit All”

Pros and Cons of Dual-Energy CT Systems: “One Does Not Fit All”

Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) uses different energy spectrum x-ray beams for differentiating materials with similar attenuation at a certain energy. Compared with single-energy CT, it provides images with better diagnostic performance and a potential reduction of contrast agent and radiatio...
