DECT iodine maps show superior performance for the detection of fixed and mixed perfusion deficits compared with SCT spectra. Read more

To evaluate the feasibility and performance of dual energy CT during arterial phase in coronary CT angiography for the detection of chronic infarction compared with late enhancement MRI (LE-MRI) and histopathology in a porcine model of reperfused myocardial infarction. Read more

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a new DSCT scanner generation with 83 ms temporal resolution in patients without stable sinus rhythm. Read more

This article compares cost-effectiveness and potential lifetime benefits of using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for myocardial perfusion assessment instead of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for the workup of coronary artery disease (CAD). Read more

To evaluate diagnostic image quality of high-pitch dual source comprehensive cardiothoracic CT protocol in patients presenting with acute undifferentiated chest pain. Read more

The purpose of this article is to compare the performance of dual-energy CT with that of 3-T MRI with late enhancement for the detection of chronic myocardial infarction during first-pass coronary CT angiography (CTA). Read more

This study investigates the sensitivity and specificity of dual-source CT (DSCT) to detect and rule out significant coronary stenoses in patients with atrial fibrillation referred for invasive coronary angiography. Read more
