Abstract

Dual-energy CT (DECT) is a steadily emerging innovative imaging modality. Various applications have been developed and applied to successfully solve diagnostic difficulties that standard CT has in the abdomen. This includes kidney stone differentiation, cholesterol gallstone detection, renal and adrenal lesion characterization, and tumor response monitoring. This article is supposed to give a current update on possible applications of DECT in the abdomen and their evidence.
