DESCRIPTION:
Information is provided on the practice and interpretation of DECT and its impact on clinical decision making in a variety of oncological settings, including tumors of the head and neck, lung, liver, pancreas, gastrointestinal system, kidney, and musculoskeletal system.DECT is an innovative imaging technique in which the application of two distinct energy settings provides a transition from density-based image to spectral imaging.As detailed in this book, DECT acquisition allows the simultaneous generation of multiple datasets which enable the radiologist to address varied diagnostic problems in oncologic imaging using a multiparametric approach, having clear advantages in tumor detection, lesion characterization and evaluation of treatment response.. The aim of this book is fourfold: to describe the basic principles of Dual Energy CT (DECT) imaging, to explain how post-processing is utilized, to critically appraise the strengths and weaknesses of the technique in oncologic imaging, and above all, to demonstrate the contribution of DECT in the management of oncologic patients

"From researchers for researchers" according to Hounsfield. This is a well written and aesthetically very pleasing book by mostly Italian radiologists. The authors give a good overview of techniques in oncological dual-energy CT of various body regions and show why there is increasing interest in this technique.If you work in the research field, this would be an excellent book for you. My main concern is that as a clinical radiologist, you will gain very little helpful knowledge from this book. Dual-energy CT is still mainly only used for imaging of gout and kidney stones. All th
