1) Understand the principles of image acquisition and post processing of dual energy CT technologies currently commercially available in the US. 2) Learn about the most promising abdominal dual energy CT applications. 3) Discuss workflow issues and limitations of dual energy approaches for abdominal imaging.

For this section of the presentation, a variety of topics regarding single source dual energy CT will be covered. This will include aplications of single source dual energy CT for abdominal imaging, and, particularly unique issues for single source CT in the development of imaging protocols, expediting workflow (such as for the generation of monochromatic energy images, and iodine/water material density images) at the scanner and approaches to image interpretation using these provided images. Strengths and limitations of singel source dual energy CT will also be discussed.
