3 Dual-Energy CT: Which Energy Level is Better? Low Energy Image (70 kev) High Energy Image (130 kev)
4 Dual-Energy CT: Metallic Artifacts Low Energy Image (70 kev) High Energy Image (130 kev) WINNER?
5 Dual-Energy CT: Soft Tissue Quality WINNER? Low Energy Image (70 kev) High Energy Image (130 kev)
6 Dual-Energy CT: Iodinated Contrast Material WINNER? Low Energy Image (70 kev) High Energy Image (130 kev)
7 Low Energy Image (70 kev) High Energy Image (130 kev) Mediocre Compromise Excels at Neither aspect Best of Both Worlds
8 Low Energy Image (70 kev) High Energy Image (130 kev) Mediocre Compromise Excels at Neither aspect Best of Both Worlds
9 Blend + Proximity Algorithm Overview
10 Algorithm Implementation Each output voxel (V) is a weighted average of the 2 corresponding voxels from the 70-keV and 130-keV mono-energetic images V Output = w V LowEnergy + (1 - w) V HighEnergy The weighting factor (w, range 0 to 1) is calculated individually for each output voxel Generally favors the low-energy input voxel, unless artifact is present. The likelihood and magnitude of artifact are considered to be increasing if: High Discrepancy in Voxel Intensities between corresponding low- & high- voxels. Implies an area of dark streak artifact. Proximity to Metal or other very dense material (>1100 Hounsfield Units). Similar to a gravity field Smooth transitions to avoid artifactual edges. Custom program using C++ and DCMTK.
11 Low Energy Image Calculated Blending Map Black: use High Energy Voxel White: use Low Energy Voxel High Energy Image
12 Low Energy Image Calculated Blending Map Black: use High Energy Voxel White: use Low Energy Voxel High Energy Image Voxel is: Far from metal. Similar intensities on the corresponding Low & High Energy Images. Artifact is Unlikely or Minimal: Weighting Factor Favors Low Energy Voxel because of generally better quality.
13 Low Energy Image Calculated Blending Map Black: use High Energy Voxel White: use Low Energy Voxel High Energy Image Voxel is: Near metal. Very different intensities on Low & High Energy Images. Artifact is Likely and Severe Weighting Factor Favors High Energy Voxel because generally more robust near metal.
14 Weighting Factors (W) Weighting Low Factor Energy (70 Calculation kev) Favored when W is near 1 High Energy (130 kev) Favored when W is near 0 Hybrid Monochromatic Images Reduce Artifacts eposter #: ep-151

16 Survey Results: Condorcet Method
17 Survey Results: Pick-Top-Choice Method
18 Conclusions Most readers preferred Blend+Proximity reconstruction algorithm over any other single energy level (70, 100, 130 kev). This algorithm achieves high suppression of metallic artifacts while preserving contrast of soft tissues and good conspicuity of iodinated contrast. Additional research is desired, using: Images containing tumors or other pathologies. Utilizing even lower energy levels at approximately 40 kev 40 kev has been previously suggested as optimal for visualization of various tumor types2, 4, 5
