The purpose of this exhibit is: 1. To review the fundamentals of rapid kV switching cardiac dual energy CT (DECT) by comparison of other type of DECT. 2. To know what we can know newly from rapid kV switching cardiac DECT by comparison to conventional polychromatic CT.

Table of Contents/Outline: Fundamentals of rapid kV switching cardiac CT A. Theoretics of dual energy X-ray imaging B. Spectral imaging C. Features of DECT Review of dual energy images on cardiac CT (by comparison to conventional polychromatic CT) A. Coronary artery imaging B. Myocardial imaging (ischemic/non-ischemic) C. Plaque imaging D. Others Conclusion/summary: Cardiac radiologists unfamiliar with DECT and physicians-in-training will be able to obtain: 1) a better understanding of fundamentals of rapid kV switching cardiac DECT, 2) the knowledge of clinical usages in cardiac imaging, 3) the characteristic findings of cardiac disease evaluated using rapid kV switching DECT.
