Dual-energy CT refers to the use of CT data representing two different energy spectra and allows for the possibility of differentiating and classifying tissue to obtain material-specific images. Dual-energy CT data can be acquired using various CT hardware platforms, with numerous approaches also existing for display of anatomic and material-specific dual-energy information. Dual-source CT refers to the use of two x-ray sources and two x-ray detectors mounted on a single CT gantry and can be used in either a dual-energy or single-energy mode. This article summarizes and reviews current and potential applications for dual-energy and dual-source CT in the abdomen and pelvis.
双能CT是指利用代表两种不同能谱的CT数据,能够区分和分类组织以获取特定物质图像。双能CT数据可通过各种CT硬件平台获取,也有多种方法用于显示解剖学和特定物质的双能信息。双源CT是指在单个CT机架上使用两个X射线源和两个X射线探测器,可在双能或单能模式下使用。本文总结并回顾了双能和双源CT在腹部和盆腔的当前及潜在应用。
