Dual-energy CTor multispectral CT is becoming increasingly more common in clinical practice due to the rapid rise in computer technology and expanding literature exhibiting vast advantages over conventional single energy CT.

Clinical applications

The clinical practice, adaptation and techniques of dual energy CT is broken into individual articles:

virtual non-contrast imaging
vascular, f. ex.
- automated bone removal in CT Angiography ²
- blood pool imaging ²
  - detection of pulmonary embolism
  - detection of myocardial ischemia
~~vascular~~
urinary system
- characterisation of renal stones ²
- characterisation of renal cysts and masses ^2-⁴
female breast
- identification of silicone leaks from breast implants²
musculoskeletal
- detection of bone marrow edema
- detection and quantification of urate crystals in gout
abdominal imaging
- pancreatic diseases ⁵
