From: Dual- and multi-energy CT: approach to functional imaging
Weighted dual-energy image (A) averaged between low and high kVp images similar in appearance to conventional single-energy CT images. Dual-energy-derived material-specific information is used to quantify contrast material, allowing its subtraction to generate virtual non-enhanced images (B). Iodine maps show the contrast material content superimposed on grey scale CT (C). Note comparison of weighted dual-energy image with virtual non-enhanced image as well as iodine maps allowing detection or exclusion of enhancement from a single phase acquisition (see renal cyst, arrows)
