Usefulness of contrast-enhanced dual-energy computed tomography for detecting oral, head, and neck cancers

Contrast-enhanced dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) is advantageous in classifying tissues by changing iodine density. However, only few studies have investigated the interobserver variations in image quality and reproducibility by several observers (> 10). Therefore, this study aimed to compare iodine density reconstructed computed tomography (IDCT) and non-reconstructed computed tomography (NRCT) in terms of visual scoring and tumor size estimation.
