The Influence of Effective Energy on Computed Tomography Number Depends on Tissue Characteristics in Monoenergetic Cardiac Imaging

Purpose. To evaluate the influence of effective energy on computed tomography (CT) number in monoenergetic images (MEIs). Methods. Three bottle phantoms filled with water, oil, and a contrast agent were scanned at 100 and 140 kVp tube energy with a dual-source CT scanner. Cardiac dual-energy CT data...
