Owing to ongoing technical refinements and intense scientific and clinical evaluations,
computed tomography (CT) of the heart has left the research realm and matured into a clinical …

Purpose To prospectively compare traditional filtered back projection (FBP) and iterative
image reconstruction for the evaluation of heavily calcified arteries with coronary computed …

Objectives To evaluate whether dual-energy computed tomography (DECT)-derived iodine
content and iodine overlay could differentiate between normal, inflammatory and metastatic …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: DECT offers additional image datasets with potential
benefits, but its use for H&N imaging is not justified unless image quality is preserved without …

Objectives To define optimal keV settings for advanced monoenergetic (Mono+) dual-energy
computed tomography (DECT) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (…

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects on objective and subjective
image quality of virtual monoenergetic reconstructions at various energy levels of dual-energy …

Purpose: To retrospectively compare a split-bolus contrast medium injection protocol with a
biphasic and a monophasic protocol in terms of visualization of the right and left heart, …

Objective To investigate the role of perfusion defect (PD) size on dual energy CT pulmonary
blood volume assessment as predictor of right heart strain and patient outcome and its …

Background Traditional limitations of cardiac CT are related to image noise, blooming
artifacts from calcifications and stents, and radiation exposure. We evaluated whether these …

Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of phantomless in vivo dual-energy computed
tomography (CT)–based three-dimensional (3D) bone mineral density (BMD) assessment in …
