Performance of dual-energy subtraction in contrast-enhanced mammography for three different manufacturers: a phantom study
DES images, obtained by recombining LE and HE images, have a major role in CEM. Differences in radiation dose among CEM systems were between 8.0% and 49.6%. One DES algorithm achieved superior technical performance, providing higher CNR values at a lower radiation dose.
