DECT plus CT enhances evaluation of pulmonary lesions
By Abraham Kim
Wednesday, December 4 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSM05-01 | Room N226Together, the combination of dual-energy CT (DECT) and conventional CT can differentiate primary lung cancer from lung metastases more effectively than either of the techniques alone, according to this study to be presented on Wednesday.
