Abstract
Although conceived of in the 1970s, practical use of dual-energy CT in the clinical setting did not come to fruition until 2006, and since that time an ever expanding exploration of the technology has been underway. This article will discuss technical aspects of the two commercially available CT scanners, review the recent literature, and provide an organ-based description of abdominal dual-energy CT applications for the practicing radiologist.
