Introduction to DECT -- Technical aspects of DECT with dual source -- Technical aspects of DECT with dual layer -- Gemstone Imaging -- Neurovascular Imaging -- Neck imaging -- Thoracic imaging -- Abdominal imaging -- Upper and lower limbs imaging -- Technical Advancements for Cardiac Imaging -- Plaque characterization -- Accuracy of DECT in coronary arteries -- Beam Hardening Reduction and Image Quality Improvements with DECT -- Myocardial CT perfusion -- Myocardial viability -- Pitfalls -- Limitations -- Management of radiation -- Future.

This book focuses on the rapidly developing and promising novel applications of Dual Energy CT (DECT) in cardiovascular medicine. Although developed many years ago, DECT represents the newest significant advancement in the field of computed tomography, the clinical utility of which has recently expanded as many new applications have been developed. In the field of cardiovascular medicine, DECT has been applied for purposes such as the evaluation of myocardial ischemia, myocardial viability and atherosclerotic plaque characterization. As the first book of its kind, Dual-Energy CT in Cardiovascular Imaging contains practical and clinically relevant information on the protocols used that provide precise quantification of coronary artery stenosis using either different monochromatic levels or material decomposition, reduction of beam hardening artifacts in perfusion studies and optimizing endovenous contrast, among others. It is therefore a valuable read for residents, fellows and practicing clinicians in cardiac imaging and cardiology.
