Correlation Between Dual-Energy Computed Tomography Single Scan and Computed Tomography Perfusion for Pancreatic Cancer Patients: Initial Experience

The objective of this study was to evaluate the role and limit of iodine maps by dual-energy computed tomography (CT) single scan for pancreatic cancer. Methods Thirty patients with suspected solitary pancreatic cancer were enrolled in this study and underwent CT perfusion and iodine maps. The parameters of pancreatic cancer and normal pancreatic tissue were calculated. Pearson correlation and paired t test were used for evaluating 2 techniques. Results Iodine concentration had a moderate positive correlation with blood flow or blood volume (P
