“ Dual source dual energy CT is accurate for diagnosing clinically important hepatic iron accumulation without confounding influence of hepatic steatosis, with diagnostic performance on par with MRI.” Feasibility and Accuracy of Dual Source Dual Energy CT for Noninvasive Determination of Hepatic Iron Formation Joe E et al. Radiology 2012; 262:126-135
“ Dual source dual energy CT (DSDE CT) can be used for diagnosing clinically important hepatic iron accumulation, demonstrating sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 90% when the optimal cutoff value for attenuation difference between 80 and 140 kVp at CT is set at 12.5.” Feasibility and Accuracy of Dual Source Dual Energy CT for Noninvasive Determination of Hepatic Iron Formation Joe E et al. Radiology 2012; 262:126-135
“ If CT is indicated, DSDE CT can be used as an accurate modality for diagnosisng clinically important (≥10% at histopathologic examination) hepatic iron accumulation without the confounding influence of hepatic steatosis, with diagnostic performance on par with MR imaging.” Feasibility and Accuracy of Dual Source Dual Energy CT for Noninvasive Determination of Hepatic Iron Formation Joe E et al. Radiology 2012; 262:126-135
