To assess ischaemic penumbra through the post-processing of the spectral multiphasic CT Angiography (mCTA) data in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients. Thirty one consecutive patients strongly suspected of severe Middle Cerebral Artery AIS presenting less than 6 h after onset of symptoms or with unknown time of onset of symptoms underwent a standardized CT protocol in spectral mode including Non Contrast CT, mCTA, and Perfusion CT (CTP) on a dual-layer MDCT system. Areas disclosing delayed enhancement on iodine density (ID) maps were highlighted by subtraction of the serial mCTA datasets.

Background/aims: To identify changes in symptoms and pulmonary sequelae in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Methods: Patients with COVID-19 hospitalized at seven university hospitals in Korea between February 2020 and February 2021 were enrolled, provided they had ≥ 1 outpatient follow-up visit. Between January 11 and March 9, 2021 (study period), residual symptom investigations, chest computed tomography (CT) scans, pulmonary function tests (PFT), and neutralizing antibody tests (NAb) were performed at the outpatient visit (cross-sectional design).

Background And Purpose: Dual-layer spectral CT is a novel technology that utilized conventional single-tube CT acquisition with a dual-layer detector for the separation of high and low-energy photons to create spectral data for material decomposition. We evaluated the spectral parameters of iodine density and Z-effective values in primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and determined its impact on local tumor staging.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-one patients with primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and 15 healthy controls were retrospectively evaluated.
