Dual-energy (DE) computed tomography (CT) offers the opportunity to generate material-
specific images on the basis of the atomic number Z and the unique mass attenuation …

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common diffuse liver disease, with a
worldwide prevalence of 20% to 46%. NAFLD can be subdivided into simple steatosis and …

Abstract Background and Objective Fatty Liver Disease (FLD)-a disease caused by
deposition of fat in liver cells, is predecessor to terminal diseases such as liver cancer. The …

Hepatic fibrosis is potentially reversible; however early diagnosis is necessary for treatment
in order to halt progression to cirrhosis and development of complications including portal …

Purpose To determine the ability of texture analyses of contrast-enhanced CT images for
distinguishing between varying degrees of hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic liver …

Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) is of great clinical significance because of its
material identification and quantification capacity. Although DECT measures attenuation …

Computed tomography (CT) is often chosen for the initial workup of focal and diffuse liver
disease because it is well tolerated, the images have few artifacts, and the entire abdomen …

Aim To investigate whether iodine density measurements from contrast‐enhanced dual‐
energy computed tomography (CT) data can non‐invasively stage liver fibrosis. Methods …

Dual energy CT offers the potential to analyze material composition through image
acquisition at two different energy levels. Since materials have unique attenuation profiles at …

Background Normalized iodine concentration (NIC)(ratio of iodine concentration of liver to
that of aorta) of liver at delayed dual-energy CT (DECT) may reflect the amount of fibrosis …
