Objective: This study aims to investigate the connection between the leakage sign (LS) and hematoma expansion (HE) in cases of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. The investigation employs dual-energy computed tomography angiography (DECTA).
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted, in which clinical and DECTA imaging data were collected from intracerebral hemorrhage patients within 6 hours of onset between January 2021 and June 2023.
Diagnostic Effectiveness of Dual Source Dual Energy Computed Tomography for Benign and Malignant Thyroid Nodules.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how effective dual source dual energy computed tomography (DS-DECT) is for diagnosing benign and malignant thyroid nodules using data from 60 patients treated surgically.
- Results showed DS-DECT had a perfect diagnosis accuracy of 100%, with significant differences found in iodine content between benign and malignant nodules, particularly in the venous phase.
- The optimal iodine concentration and standardized CT values for distinguishing between the two types of nodules were identified, achieving high sensitivity and specificity in diagnoses.
