Careful planning can optimize spectral CT in radiology
Spectral CT has much to offer radiology. Also known as dual-energy CT, the technology gives radiologists the ability to more easily differentiate healthy from diseased tissue. And through careful planning, imaging facilities optimize their use of spectral CT to the benefit of patients and referring physicians.
