Dual-energy CT for distinguishing between T3 and T4 stages of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma
The T3 and T4 stages of LA-NPC can be distinguished more accurately by the morphology of DECT than by MRI, although not reaching statistical significance. The model combining V-NIC and A-Rho parameters from DECT enhanced diagnostic performance.
