Diagnostic value of spectral reconstructions in detecting incidental skeletal muscle metastases in CT staging examinations

Diagnostic value of spectral reconstructions in detecting incidental skeletal muscle metastases in CT staging examinations

Abstract Background To investigate if iodine density overlay maps (IDO) and virtual monoenergetic images at 40 keV (VMI40keV) acquired from spectral detector computed tomography (SDCT) can improve detection of incidental skeletal muscle metastases in whole-body CT staging examinations compared to co...
