Development of a dual‐energy computed tomography quality control program: Characterization of scanner response and definition of relevant parameters for a fast‐kVp switching dual‐energy computed tomography system

Abstract

A streamlined scan protocol was developed to further investigate the effects of CTDIvol and rotation time while limiting data collection to the DEQC body phantom. Further data collection will be pursued to determine baseline values and statistically based failure thresholds for the validation of long-term DECT scanner performance.
