Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Lymph nodes (LN) are examined in every computed tomography (CT) scan. Until now, an evaluation is only possible based on morphological criteria. With dual-energy CT (DECT) systems, iodine concentration (IC) can be measured which could conduct in an improved diagnostic evaluation of LNs. PURPOSE: To define standard values for IC of cervical, axillary, and inguinal LNs in DECT. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Imaging data of 297 patients who received a DECT scan of the neck, thorax, abdomen-pelv...     »
