Cervical and Cranial Computed Tomographic Angiography With Automated Bone Removal: Dual Energy CT vs. Standard CT

posted by Thorsten R. C. Johnson, M.D. | Jan 25, 2010
Thorsten R. C. Johnson, M.D.

Objective: In supraaortic vessels, bone subtracted maximum intensity projections make the evaluation of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) datasets easier and faster. Dual energy CT can be used for bone removal without user interaction. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of conventional and dual energy-based bone removal. Materials … Read more

Technical Implementation of Dual Energy CT (T. Johnson)

posted by Thorsten R. C. Johnson, M.D. | Jan 4, 2010

This third article of our Dual Energy-series focuses on the technical implementation of Dual Energy technology. For Dual Energy scanning, the tube potentials are mostly set to 140 and 80 kVp to obtain the largest spectral difference. Weighted average images are calculated by the image reconstruction system to resemble normal 120 … Read more

Dual-energy computed tomography imaging of myocardial infarction

posted by Balazs Ruzsics, M.D., PhD | Dec 28, 2009
Balazs Ruzsics, M.D., PhD

Electro-cardiogram (ECG)-gated dual energy computed tomography (DECT) of the heart may enable spectral analysis of the myocardium for areas of decreased blood supply in addition to morphological assessment for coronary artery stenosis. We used DECT for evaluating a 49-year-old woman with known coronary artery disease and new onset chest pain. She … Read more
