Optimization of window settings for virtual monoenergetic imaging in dual-energy CT of the liver: A multi-reader evaluation of standard monoenergetic and advanced imaged-based monoenergetic datasets

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Radiology, 2016
To evaluate optimal window settings for display of virtual monoenergetic reconstructions in third-generation dual-source, dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) of the liver.Twenty-nine subjects were prospectively evaluated with DECT in arterial (AP) and portal venous (PVP) phases. Three reconstructed datasets were calculated: standard linearly-blended

Noise-optimized advanced image-based virtual monoenergetic imaging for improved visualization of lung cancer: Comparison with traditional virtual monoenergetic imaging

European Journal of Radiology, 2016
To assess the effect of a noise-optimized image-based virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI+) algorithm in direct comparison with the traditional VMI technique and standard linearly-blended images emulating 120-kVp acquisition (M_0.3) on image quality at dual-energy CT in patients with lung cancer.Dual-source dual-energy CT examinations of 48 patients ...

Metal artifact reduction by dual-layer computed tomography using virtual monoenergetic images

European Journal of Radiology, 2017
The aim of the study was to investigate the performance and diagnostic value of metal artifact reduction in virtual monoenergetic images generated from dual-layer computed tomography (DLCT).35 patients that received a DLCT at the University Hospital Cologne and had an orthopedic implant in the examined region were included in this study.

Advanced virtual monoenergetic images: improving the contrast of dual-energy CT pulmonary angiography

open access: yesClinical Radiology, 2015
To investigate the value of advanced virtual monoenergetic image reconstruction (mono-plus) from dual-energy computed tomography (CT) for improving the contrast of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA).Forty consecutive patients (25 women, mean 62.5 years, range 28-87 years) underwent 192-section dual-source CTPA with dual-energy CT (90/150 SnkVp) after the ...

Visibility of bronchial arteries using virtual and advanced virtual monoenergetic imaging.

Acta radiologica (Stockholm, Sweden : 1987), 2020
The utility of virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) for fine arteries has not been well clarified.To assess bronchial artery visualization using VMI and noise-optimized advanced VMI (VMI+).Eighty-seven patients with esophageal cancer underwent computed tomography (CT) using a third-generation dual-source system before surgery.

Dual-Energy Computed Tomography Virtual Monoenergetic Imaging of Lung Cancer

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 2016
The aim of the study was to evaluate objective and subjective image qualities of virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) in dual-source dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) and optimal kiloelectron-volt (keV) levels for lung cancer.Fifty-nine lung cancer patients underwent chest DECT. Images were reconstructed as VMI series at energy levels of 40, 60, 80,

Imaging of hypodense gliotic lesions in photon counting computed tomography using virtual monoenergetic images

The Neuroradiology Journal
Objectives Glioses appear as hypodense lesions in non-contrast CT examinations of the head. Photon counting CT (PCCT) enables the calculation of virtual monoenergetic images (VMI). The aim of this study is to investigate in which VMI hypodense gliotic lesions can be delineated best.

Phantom Validation of Spectral Detector Computed Tomography–Derived Virtual Monoenergetic, Virtual Noncontrast, and Iodine Quantification Images

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 2018
Purpose Spectral detector computed tomography (SDCT) is a new CT technology that uses a dual-layer detector to perform energy separation. We aim to assess 3 clinical concepts using a phantom model: noise profile across the virtual monoenergetic (VME) spectrum, accuracy of iodine quantification, and virtual noncontrast (VNC ...
