Abstract

Computed tomography (CT) continues to evolve, with significant advancements in recent years. This research explores two critical techniques: dual-energy CT (DECT) and low-dose CT.



  1. Dual-Energy Computed Tomography (DECT):


- DECT utilizes two distinct X-ray energy levels for material differentiation.


- Applications include virtual monoenergetic images, material decomposition, and iodine concentration maps. - Recent research findings demonstrate its value in various clinical scenarios.



  1. Low-Dose CT:


- LDCT reduces radiation exposure while maintaining diagnostic quality.


- Crucial for lung cancer screening, LDCT detects early-stage nodules.


- The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) supports its efficacy in reducing lung cancer-related deaths.
