Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) enables material decomposition and virtual monochromatic images by acquiring 2 different energy X-ray data sets. DECT can detect musculoskeletal pathologic conditions that CT alone cannot, and that would otherwise require MR imaging. In this review, the authors discuss several useful techniques and applications of DECT in musculoskeletal research: virtual monochromatic images, virtual noncalcium images, gout, iodine map, and tendons.
双能计算机断层扫描(DECT)通过获取两组不同能量的X射线数据集来实现物质分解和虚拟单色图像。DECT能够检测出单纯CT无法检测到的肌肉骨骼病理状况,而这些状况原本需要磁共振成像(MR)来检测。在这篇综述中,作者讨论了DECT在肌肉骨骼研究中的几种有用技术和应用:虚拟单色图像、虚拟去钙图像、痛风、碘图和肌腱。
