Two-pass dual-energy CT imaging for simultaneous detection, characterization, and volume measurement of urinary stones with excretory-phase CT urography alone: a phantom study.

Purpose: To evaluate if two-pass dual-energy CT imaging--i.e., simultaneous three-material and two-material decomposition analysis--can depict and characterize urinary stones in various concentrations of iodine solution in vitro.Materials and Methods: Twelve urinary stones were scanned with a dual-s...
