Abstract
OBJECTIVE
Spectral detector CT (SDCT) has many applications in advanced liver imaging. If appropriately utilized, this technology has the potential to improve image quality, provide new diagnostic information, and allow for decreased radiation dose. The purpose of this review is to familiarize radiologists with the uses of SDCT in liver imaging.
CONCLUSION
SDCT has a variety of post-processing techniques, which can be used in advanced liver imaging and can significantly add value in clinical practice.
