Abstract:PurposeTo determine the feasibility of meniscal imaging using virtual monochromatic images obtained through dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) technique, and to determine which keV levels optimise contrast resolution.Material and methodsAll DECT exams were performed on a Discovery CT750 HD system from GE Healthcare. Virtual monochromatic images were reconstructed at 40 keV, 73 keV, 106 keV, and 139 keV. Contrast resolution of the medial and lateral menisci using a 5-point Likert scale at each keV level was… Show more
