Computed tomography of the head and neck region for tumor stagingâcomparison of dual-source, dual-energy and low-kilovolt, single-energy acquisitions
Investigative Radiology Aug 18, 2017
May MS, et al. – Researchers undertook this study to intra–individually compare the image quality obtained by dual–source, dual–energy (DSDE) computed tomography (CT) examinations and different virtual monoenergetic reconstructions to a low single–energy (SE) scan. They obtained high overall image quality for tumor delineation in head and neck imaging with 40–keV VMI. Nevertheless, 70–kV SE examinations are an alternative and modified projections aligned to the jaw are recommended in case of severe artifacts caused by dental hardware.
