  • “ 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.”

  • “ 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.”
