Impact of dual-energy CT prior to radioembolization (RE).

CONCLUSION: Eighty kVp DECT enables a significantly better assessment of the arteries of the upper abdomen for therapy planning in comparison to correlating 120 kVp datasets. This may allow for identification of potential extrahepatic non-target vessels and assessment of target volume for therapy planning prior to DSA. PMID: 25398776 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
