Optimising dual-energy CT scan parameters for virtual non-calcium imaging of the bone marrow: a phantom study

Abstract Background We investigated the influence of dose, spectral separation, pitch, rotation time, and reconstruction kernel on accuracy and image noise of virtual non-calcium images using a bone marrow phantom. Methods The phantom was developed at our institution and scanned using a third-genera...
