Dual-Energy Computed Tomography

Preferred Label : Dual-Energy Computed Tomography;

NCIt synonyms : DECT;

NCIt definition : An application of computed tomography that uses different x-ray spectra to acquire two image sets at the same anatomic location. This technique allows for the analysis of energy-dependent changes in the attenuation of different materials and facilitates the differentiation, characterization, isolation, and distinction of the imaged tissue and material.;
