Principles and Clinical Application of Dual-energy Computed Tomography in the Evaluation of Cerebrovascular Disease

Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) simultaneously acquires images at two X-ray energy levels, at both high- and low-peak voltages (kVp). The material attenuation difference obtained from the two X-ray energies can be processed by software to analyze material decomposition and to create additiona...
