Dual-Energy CT in Focal and Diffuse Liver Disease

Abstract

Purpose of Review

The purpose of this article is to review recent literature evaluating the role of dual-energy CT (DECT) in assessing focal and diffuse liver diseases.

Recent Findings

Recent generation of DECT scanners and newer DECT technologies are equipped with advanced multi-material decomposition algorithms and have better spectral separation capabilities. These have the potential for improvement in quantitative assessment of deposition disorders. Advancements in image reconstructions have also demonstrated enhanced detection hypovascular and hypervascular liver lesions.

Summary

This article will provide an updated overview of a wide array of clinical applications of DECT in liver imaging with case illustrations.
