WHY USE DUAL ENERGY

What is Dual Energy

Dual-Energy CT (DECT) is an advanced imaging technique that uses two different X-ray energy levels (spectra) in a single scan, allowing for material characterization beyond what conventional CT offers, by analyzing how materials absorb different energies to differentiate substances like iodine, calcium, or uric acid, leading to better lesion detection, reduced artifacts, and more precise functional information for diagnosis.

Difference between Single and Dual Energy CT

Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) uses different energy spectrum x-ray beams for differentiating materials with similar attenuation at a certain energy. Compared with single-energy CT, it provides images with better diagnostic performance and a potential reduction of contrast agent and radiation doses.

Dual-Energy KUB (Kidney, Ureter, Bladder)

Dual-Energy KUB (Kidney, Ureter, Bladder) is an advanced X-ray imaging technique that uses two different X-ray energy level in a single scan to differentiate materials, primarily to determine the chemical composition of kidney stones. This helps doctors select appropriate treatments, potentially avoiding unnecessary surgery by identifying stones like uric acid stones that can be dissolved medically, and it offers a low-dose, cost-effective alternative to Dual Energy for stone characterization.

KUB Imaging - Stone Analysis

Gout Imaging

Dual-Energy CT is a powerful, non-invasive imaging tool that detects and quantifies uric acid crystal deposits (tophi) in gout by using two different X-ray energy levels to differentiate them from other tissues.

Gout Detection - Uric Acid Crystals

Metal Artifact Reduction

(DECT) reduces artifacts, especially from metal implants, by acquiring data at two different X-ray energy levels, allowing for material decomposition and reconstruction that minimize beam-hardening streaks, offering clearer views of surrounding tissues, though specialized algorithms like MAR often provide even better results for complex metal artifacts, with optimal artifact reduction.
