Spectral CT applications
•
Enhanced visualization
•
Low energy reconstruction: less iodine needed
• Artifact reduction
•
High energy reconstruction: less metal artefacts, less blooming
• Radiation reduction
•
Virtual non contrast: unenhanced acquisitions not needed
• Tissue and material composition
•
Effective Z: kidney stones, lesion characterization
•
Iodine map: perfusion of lungs, tumors, myocardium
