These studies suggest that dual-energy imaging improves the detection, diagnosis, and characterization of pulmonary diseases, including nodules, lung cancer, and emphysema, while potentially reducing radiation exposure and enhancing image quality.
Dual-energy X-ray imaging, particularly dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) and dual-energy subtraction radiography, has shown significant promise in improving the detection and characterization of pulmonary diseases. This imaging technique leverages the differences in X-ray attenuation at different energy levels to enhance the visualization of various structures and abnormalities within the lungs.
