Abstract: RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To show that water and iodine two-material decomposition images from dual-layer dual-energy spectral X-ray computed tomography (DECT) can be used to separate intravascular iodine contrast from simultaneously administered oral tantalum, tungsten, or… read more here.

Abstract: PURPOSE To assess the dose-normalized iodine contrast-to-noise-ratio (CNRD) improvement and contrast media reduction potential obtained with photon-counting (PC) CT compared to conventional energy-integrating (EI) CT as a function of patient size and tube voltage. METHOD… read more here.
