Spectral CT imaging for assessment of metastases in melanoma patients: multi-reader evaluation
We found that in melanoma patients, the benefit of dlDECT-derived spectral reconstructions depends on the assessed tissue. While assessment of skeletal muscle and peritoneal metastases was significantly improved, low or absent iodine uptake of subcutaneous lesions led to false negatives and a consecutive decrease in sensitivity.
