ABSTRACT

Dual energy computed tomography (DECT) is an innovative imaging modality with many established, evolving, and emerging indications. By virtue of DECT, material separation and tissue characterization is now possible and has facilitated increased lesion detection as well as characterization, imaging improvements at all stages of oncological care, all at comparable and on occasions reduced radiation doses. DECT can also overcome diagnostic challenges and can offer more material-specific information of significance within many medical disciplines. By means of DECT, management can be better informed from a single investigation.
