N2 - Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) is a contemporary development by which the tissue can be characterized beyond conventional computed tomography. It improves tissue differentiation by exploiting the X-ray absorptive property of the tissues. Although still in its early stages, DECT utilization in pulmonary and cardiovascular pathologies is emerging. It includes applications such as pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension, myocardial perfusion, and coronary artery assessment. This article discusses DECT principles and their current and emerging applications in thoracic imaging.
