Usefulness of dual-energy computed tomography for oral cancer image

We aimed to compare dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) virtual monochromatic imaging (VMI) and iodine density imaging (IDI) of oral cancers in terms of visual scoring and tumour volume estimation. Nine patients diagnosed with oral cancer who underwent DECT VMI and IDI were enrolled. One radiation oncologist, one head and neck surgeon and nine oral surgeons evaluated image clarity and quality in each patient in terms of metal artefacts due to...
