Dual Source CT in cancer imaging

The following question has been sent by Gabor Erfert:

Cancer: To whom it may concern, I wonder if this DSCT procedure can be applied to cancer patients in particular those suffering of a masking cancer. Thanks for your reply

Thomas Albrecht, M.D., Free University and Humboldt University of Berlin:

Dear Gabor Erfert,
a dual source CT scanner is a 64-slice CT and can be used to image various kinds of cancers just like any other modern multislice CT scanner. However, as far as I can think, there are no real advantages of the dual source CT compared to normal CT for cancer imaging.
I am not sure what exactly you mean by “masking cancer”.
