TL;DR: Results showed that a differentiation and depiction of contrast material distribution is possible in the brain, the lung, the liver and the kidneys with or without the underlying tissue of the organ, and Dual energy CT offers a more specific tissue characterization in CT and can improve the assessment of vascular disease.

TL;DR: First clinical experience shows a considerably increased robustness for the imaging of patients with high heart rates, and the automatic separation of bones and iodine-filled vessels is demonstrated as a potential application of the dual-energy acquisition mode.

TL;DR: A dual source CT (DSCT) scanner provides temporal resolution equivalent to a quarter of the gantry rotation time, independent of the patient's heart rate, and allows to go beyond conventional CT imaging by obtaining dual energy information if the two tubes are operated at different voltages.

TL;DR: The performance of a new dual-source CT with a heart rate independent temporal resolution of 83 ms for the visualization of the coronary arteries in 14 consecutive patients is evaluated and constitutes a promising new concept for cardiac CT.

TL;DR: The introduction in 1998 of multi-detector row computed tomography by the major CT vendors was a milestone with regard to increased scan speed, improved z-axis spatial resolution, and better utilization of the available x-ray power.
