Advances in imaging for the assessment of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease [PDF]

open access: yesBeyond Rheumatology, 2022
Calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) deposition (CPPD) disease is a common form of inflammatory arthritis. Despite its prevalence, it’s an under-studied condition and its diagnosis is still challenging.

Gouty arthritis: Can we avoid unnecessary dual-energy CT examinations using prior radiographs? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
OBJECTIVE:The dual-energy CT (DECT) algorithm for urate detection is feasible only if hyperdense deposits are present. Based on our experience, around half of the performed DECT examinations show no such deposits and thus were useless for this indication.

Ultrasonography and dual-energy computed tomography provide different quantification of urate burden in gout: results from a cross-sectional study

open access: yesArthritis Research & Therapy, 2017
Background Ultrasonography (US) and dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) can assess urate burden in gout. The objective of this study was to compare the quantification of urate deposition provided by US to the one provided by DECT.

Evaluation of the Optimizing Value of Dual-energy Computed Tomography Mixed Images Combined with a 3 mL/s Contrast Agent Injection Rate in Reducing Contrast Agent Artifacts in the Axillary Vein Area during Chest and Abdomen Contrast-Enhanced Imaging

open access: yesCT Lilun yu yingyong yanjiu
Objective:To compare contrast-induced hardening artifacts of the axillary vein during the arterial phase between dual-energy CT (DECT) and single-energy CT (SECT) with different contrast agent injection rates in thoracoabdominal enhanced CT examinations,

Incidental pulmonary emboli in stage IV melanoma patients: Prevalence in CT staging examinations and improved detection with vessel reconstructions based on dual energy CT. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
OBJECTIVES:Malignancy is the strongest predictor for venous thromboembolism. Dual energy CT (DECT) can support assessment of pulmonary emboli (PE) by providing vessel reconstructions (DECT-VR) and highlighting thrombi. Purpose was to determine prevalence

Comparison of single and dual energy CT for stopping power determination in proton therapy of head and neck cancer

open access: yesPhysics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2018
Background and purpose: Patients with head and neck (HN) cancer may benefit from proton therapy due to the potential for sparing of normal tissue. For planning of proton therapy, dual-energy CT (DECT) has been shown to provide superior stopping power ...

Dual-energy CT in gout patients: Do all colour-coded lesions actually represent monosodium urate crystals?

open access: yesArthritis Research & Therapy, 2020
Background Dual-energy CT (DECT) can acknowledge differences in tissue compositions and can colour-code tissues with specific features including monosodium urate (MSU) crystals.
