In this case, Dual Energy coronary CTA was used to image a complication of interventional recanalization, i.e. acute in-stent thrombosis, while the initial clinical diagnosis of acute aortic dissection could reliably be ruled out. Read more

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
