Computed tomography: Dual Source CT - Dual Energy

Dual Energy imaging with Dual Source CT is built on a simple idea: different materials absorb X-rays differently depending on the energy level. By capturing data at two distinct energy spectra, it becomes possible to distinguish tissues that appear identical in conventional imaging. Using two X-ray tubes with independently selected kV and mAs settings, Dual Source CT enables true spectral separation. A Tin Filter on the high-kV tube further sharpens this distinction, reducing dose while improving contrast differentiation. This approach allows for more confident identification of subtle findings—such as bone marrow edema or material composition—without slowing down the workflow. Dual Energy with Dual Source CT is not just an imaging technique—it's a way to extract deeper meaning from every scan.
