“…Data reconstruction.-In each patient, conventional nonenhanced and material decomposition images with fat-iodine, iodine-fat, fat-water, and water-fat material basis pairs were reconstructed by using 5-mm section collimation with both a filtered back-projection and a projection-based material-decomposition algorithm, respectively. Material density images were obtained by using a two-material decomposition algorithm, which works by first establishing a basis pair and the associated attenuation characteristics of each material in the basis pair (26)(27)(28)(29). Then, each voxel is decomposed proportionally into the two-material basis pair according to the attenuation characteristics of that voxel as measured at each energy level (80 and 140 kVp).…”
