摘要:
Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has many current and evolving applications in neuroradiology including material decomposition, improving conspicuity of iodinated contrast enhancement, and artifact reduction. However, there are multiple challenges in incorporating DECT into practice including hardware selection, postprocessing software requirements, technologist and physician training, and numerous workflow issues. This article reviews in a question-and-answer format common issues that arise when incorporating DECT into a busy neuroradiology practice.
