Several applications utilizing dual-energy cardiac CT (DECT) have recently transitioned from the realm of research into clinical workflows. DECT acquisition techniques and subsequent post-processing can provide improved qualitative analysis, allow quantitative imaging, and have the potential to decrease requisite radiation and contrast material doses. Additionally, several experimental DECT techniques are pending further investigation and may improve the diagnostic accuracy of cardiac CT and/or provide evaluation of emerging imaging biomarkers in the future. This review article will summarize the major applications utilizing DECT in diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, including both the clinically used and investigational techniques examined to date.

Abstract
Several applications utilizing dual-energy cardiac CT (DECT) have recently transitioned from the realm of research into clinical workflows. DECT acquisition techniques and subsequent post-processing can provide improved qualitative analysis, allow quantitative imaging, and have the potential to decrease requisite radiation and contrast material doses. Additionally, several experimental DECT techniques are pending further investigation and may improve the diagnostic accuracy of cardiac CT and/or provide evaluation of emerging imaging biomarkers in the future. This review article will summarize the major applications utilizing DECT in diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, including both the clinically used and investigational techniques examined to date.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
