Split-filter dual energy computed tomography radiotherapy: From calibration to image guidance

From computed tomography innovation to routine clinical application in radiation oncology – A joint initiative of close collaboration

“…Hence, an efficient handling of multiple datasets needs to be established for DECT workflows to optimally benefit from its variety and to ensure the correct use of images for each task at hand. This can be verified in an end-to-end test during commissioning [35] . Due to the many new possibilities offered by DECT, its clinical introduction will greatly benefit from knowledge-sharing, standardisation and guidance documents to ensure safe, smooth and efficient clinical procedures.…”

Survey on fan-beam computed tomography for radiotherapy: Imaging for dose calculation and delineation

“…An equivalent low number using DECT with photon dose calculations has been reported. However, a workflow for the use of split filter DECT-based photon RT has been recently evaluated to be a feasible alternative to SECT-based photon RT, with possibilities for improved delineation accuracy [21] .…”
