Clinical applications of virtual, non-contrast head images derived from dual-source, dual-energy cerebrovascular computed tomography angiography
Background: This study set out to evaluate the utility of cerebrovascular virtual non-contrast (VNC) scans. Materials and Methods: Conventional non-contrast (CNC) and dual-energy computed tomography angiography (DE-CTA) head scans were conducted on 100 subjects, of which 46 were normal, 15 had parenchymal hematomas of the brain, 13 had ischemic infarction, 22 had tumors, and 4 had calcified les...
متن کاملCorrelation Between Tissue Densities in Computed Tomography and Three Different Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Units (In Vitro)
Background and Aim: Bone density is of great assistance in the selection of the proper implant site. The present study aimed to assess the correlation between tissue densities in computed tomography (CT) and three different cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) units. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, a radiographic phantom consisting of a transparent polymethyl methacrylate (PM...
متن کاملImages in cardiovascular medicine. Myocardial ischemia diagnosed by dual-energy computed tomography: correlation with single-photon emission computed tomography.
For decades, dual-energy imaging has been used for tissue differentiation with several x-ray–based imaging modalities, exploiting the fact that the tissues in the human body show different absorption characteristics when penetrated with different x-ray spectra, spectra that are typically generated by different kV settings of the x-ray tube. Recently, dual-source computed tomography (CT) with 2 ...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Dual Energy Computed Tomography
Introduction The idea of computed tomography (CT) was first introduced in the 1960’s with the development of modern computer technology. The first scanners were commercially available in the 1970’s, and grew in popularity through the 1980’s. The innovation of helical-scanning CT produced true volume imaging with sub-millimeter resolution. CT can be used for both anatomical as well as pathologic...
متن کاملDual energy computed tomography for explosive detection
Single energy computed tomography (CT) scanners use measurements of densities to detect explosives in luggage. It is desirable to apply dual energy techniques to these CT scanners to obtain atomic number measurements to reduce false alarm rates. However, the direct application of existing dual energy techniques has practical problems, such as, approximation errors and lack of boundary constrain...
