    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Recent technologic advances in MDCT have led to the introduction of dual-energy CT (DECT). The basic principle of DECT is to acquire images at two different energy levels simultaneously and to use the attenuation differences at these different energy levels for deriving additional information, such as virtual monochromatic images, artifact suppression, and material composition of various tissues. CONCLUSION: A variety of image reconstruction and postprocessing techniques are available for better demonstration and characterization of pathologic abnormalities. DECT can provide both anatomic and functional information of different organ systems. This article focuses on the main applications of DECT in emergency radiology.
