Utility of single-energy and dual-energy computed tomography in clot characterization: An in-vitro study.

Conclusions Dual-energy CT with 80/Sn 140 kV had the highest accuracy for differentiating RBC-rich and fibrin-rich in-vitro thrombi. Further studies are needed to study the utility of non-contrast dual-energy CT in thrombus characterization in acute ischemic stroke. PMID: 28604189 [PubMed - in process]
