Diagnostic accuracy of iodine quantification and material density imaging with rapid Kilovoltage-switching DECT for small hyperattenuating renal lesions
In characterization of a small (< 4 cm) hyperattenuating renal lesion identified on abdominal CT, post processing MDI with iodine quantification has better or comparable accuracy to attenuation measurement and the specificity of iodine concentration using rsDECT improves with a threshold higher than 0.5 mg I/mL. This could enhance diagnostic workflows for renal lesion assessment using MDI and offer the potential to omit TUE scanning, thereby reducing patient radiation exposure.
