Abstract
A unique function of the SOMATOM Definition Dual Source CT system is its capacity to operate each x-ray tube at different kV and mA settings. While dual-energy CT was originally developed and evaluated 20 years ago, technical limitations of the CT scanners and post processing software at that time prevented the development of routine clinical applications.1
