Comparison of image quality and radiation doses between rapid kV-switching and dual-source DECT techniques in the chest
ConclusionDespite identical patients and associated radiation doses, there were substantial differences in material decomposition iodine images generated from SS-DECT and DS-DECT techniques. Pulmonary heterogeneity on MDI images from SS-DECT leads to artifactual areas of low perfusion and can confound interpretation of true pulmonary perfusion.
