The purpose of this article is to review the use of dual-energy CT (DECT) in the assessment of gynecologic cancer.
DECT has the potential to improve diagnostic performance, may improve the ability to differentiate between simple cystic lesions and primary ovarian cancer, and may also improve the detection of musculoskeletal and liver metastases. Additional studies will be needed to determine the direction of future developments and the degree to which DECT will affect the imaging and management of gynecologic cancer.
本文旨在综述双能CT(DECT)在妇科癌症评估中的应用。
DECT有潜力提高诊断性能,可能改善区分单纯性囊性病变与原发性卵巢癌的能力,还可能提高对肌肉骨骼和肝转移的检测。需要进一步的研究来确定未来的发展方向以及DECT对妇科癌症成像和管理的影响程度。
