Information is provided on the practice and interpretation of DECT and its impact on clinical decision making in a variety of oncological settings, including tumors of the head and neck, lung, liver, pancreas, gastrointestinal system, kidney, and musculoskeletal system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDECT is an innovative imaging technique in which the application of two distinct energy settings provides a transition from density-based image to spectral imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs detailed in this book, DECT acquisition allows the simultaneous generation of multiple datasets which enable the radiologist to address varied diagnostic problems in oncologic imaging using a multiparametric approach, having clear advantages in tumor detection, lesion characterization and evaluation of treatment response.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-10-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319360843\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-19563-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 154\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44542835490956,"sku":"9783319360843","price":76.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319360843.jpg?v=1775967875","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319360843","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
