Dual-energy CT has proven effective for better characterizing lesions of the kidney, liver, and pancreas; and novel CT postprocessing applications have become powerful tools for communicating complex anatomic and pathologic information. With the generation of material-based images acquired through DECT, the detection of subtle enhancements, and with improved artifact reduction, the authors describe how MDCT techniques are significantly impacting the diagnosis, staging, and management of cancer.</p>Friday, 18 Jan 2013 10:02:48 GMT
