Dual-energy computed tomography imaging to determine atherosclerotic plaque composition: A prospective study with tissue validation

BACKGROUND: Identifying vulnerable coronary plaque with coronary CT angiography is limited by overlap between attenuation of necrotic core and fibrous plaque. Using x-rays with differing energies alters attenuation values of these components, depending on their material composition. OBJECTIVES: We s...
