The technical background of Dual Energy Imaging

posted by DSCT.com editors | May 13, 2009

A dual-source CT system* simultaneously uses two x-ray sources at different energy levels. This makes it possible to differentiate between fat, soft tissue and contrast material (iodine) on the basis of their unique energy-dependent attenuation profiles. The Principle of Two X-ray Sources With … Read more
