Radiation dose reduction in chest dual-energy computed tomography: effect on image quality and diagnostic information

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) of the chest can be performed at a reduced radiation dose, with an emphasis on images generated with post-processing techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 21 patients undergoing DECT of the chest in a dual-source scanner, an addi...
