Dual-energy CT spectral and energy weighted data sets: carotid stenosis and plaque detection.

Rationale And Objectives: To evaluate dual-energy computed tomography spectral and energy weighted (W) image data sets concerning carotid stenosis and calcified plaque detection.

Materials And Methods: Ninety patients were evaluated using contrast media injection. Energy used for dual-energy computed tomography was tin filter with 140/80 kiloVoltage and effective milli Ampere second was 147.
