Technical performance of a dual‐energy CT system with a novel deep‐learning based reconstruction process: Evaluation using an abdomen protocol

Abstract: Background: A new tube voltage-switching dual-energy (DE) CT system using a novel deep-learning based reconstruction process has been introduced. Characterizing the performance of this DE approach can help demonstrate its benefits and potential drawbacks. Purpose: To evaluate the technical performance of a novel DECT system and compare it to that of standard single-kV CT and a rotate/rotate DECT, for abdominal imaging. Methods: DE and single-kV images of four different phantoms were acquired on a kV-switching … Show more

“…[24] With the increase of energy, the diagnostic accuracy of renal lesions could decrease, 70 KeV VMI has the lowest noise magnitude and may provide the best trade-off between sensitivity and specificity. [30,31] Some studies considered 70 KeV VMI accepted as a relatively standard energy level for routine reconstruction. [24] In this study, the radiomics models for nuclear grading and T-staging based on different VMI, IMDI, and MEI images obtained a certain value, The radomics model based on VMI obtained better results than MEI model.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] With abdominal CT imaging, lowenergy level virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) are used to enhance the contrast of lesions and iodine maps to quantify the concentration of iodine in lesions. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Both types of images improve the detection and characterization of lesions, particularly in the liver, kidney, and adrenals. 5,7,11,12 Many dual-energy CT (DECT) platforms have been developed to obtain both the low-and high-energy photon spectra required to create spectral images.…”
