This first article of our new Dual Energy series introduces you to Dual Energy. Dual Source CT had initially been developed to increase the temporal resolution of CT for cardiac imaging. By now, Dual Energy CT is ready for routine clinical use. Read more

The potential of dual energy computed tomography (DECT) for the analysis of gallstone compounds was investigated. The main goal was to find parameters, that can reliably define high percentage (> 70 %) cholesterol stones without calcium components. Read more

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

Jul 4, 2008 to Jul 5, 2008. The ability to simultaneously operate two X-ray sources at different energy levels – and therefore differentiate materials like fat, soft tissue, and contrast agent on the basis of their unique energy-dependent attenuation profiles – is opening the door to a host of clinically useful applications. This course is designed to … Read more
