Regional differences of fat depot attenuation using non-contrast, contrast-enhanced, and delayed-enhanced cardiac CT.

Conclusions In this study, regional fat depots amenable to examination during thoracic CT scans have distinctive regional attenuation values. Furthermore, such differences were better displayed using contrast-enhanced monochromatic imaging at low energy levels. PMID: 30060671 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
