SPECTRAL ENERGY IS REDEFINING CT IMAGING – Mary Beth Masset. Applied Radiology. July 2018
Computed tomography (CT) has undergone several transformations throughout its history of 40-plus years, from the introduction of the helical (spiral) CT to the development of the multi-detector row, to today’s emerging dual energy, or spectral, CT. While different manufacturers use different names—dual-energy, spectral CT and spectral imaging—and different underlying technologies,
