Clinical applications of dual-energy computed tomography in neuroradiology

Semin Ultrasound CT MR. 2022 Aug;43(4):280-292. doi: 10.1053/j.sult.2022.03.003. Epub 2022 Mar 18.

Abstract

Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has developed into a robust set of techniques with increasingly validated clinical applications in neuroradiology. We review some of the most common applications in neuroimaging along with demonstrative case examples that showcase the use of this technology in intracranial hemorrhage, stroke imaging, trauma imaging, artifact reduction, and tumor characterization.
