Recent technologic advances in computed tomography (CT)—enabling the nearly
simultaneous acquisition of clinical images using two different x-ray energy spectra—have …

Dual-energy CT scanning has significant potential for disease identification and
classification. However, it dramatically increases the amount of data collected and therefore …

Aim To compare non-linear and linear image-blending post-processing techniques in dual-
energy CT (DECT) of primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) regarding …

The combination of volume data acquired by multiple modalities has been recognized as an
important but challenging task. Modalities often differ in the structures they can delineate …

RATIONAL AND OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether a nonlinear-blending algorithm
improves tumor conspicuity and image quality in the evaluation of renal masses at dual …

Purpose: Multi‐detector computed tomography (MDCT) enables volumetric scans in a single
