The impact of dual energy CT imaging on dose calculations for pre-clinical studies

BACKGROUND: To investigate the feasibility of using dual-energy CT (DECT) for tissue segmentation and kilovolt (kV) dose calculations in pre-clinical studies and assess potential dose calculation accuracy gain. METHODS: Two phantoms and an ex-vivo mouse were scanned in a small animal irradiator with...
