The effect of patient diameter on the dual-energy ratio of selected contrast-producing elements

OBJECTIVES: To assess whether the low- to high-kVp CT number ratio at dual-energy CT (DECT) is affected by changes in patient diameter. METHODS: Seven contrast-producing elements were housed sequentially within an abdomen phantom. Fat rings enlarged the phantom diameter from 26 to 45 cm. The phantom...
