Multi-Energy CT (MECT) or Dual Energy CT (DECT) is a new frontier of rapidly advancing medical imaging, and now entering clinical practices in hospitals.
The technology enables material differentiation, elemental decomposition and material quantification.
Such features are expected to bring us better diagnosis, improved image quality, reduction of radiation exposure, reduction of contrast agent volume and opens possibility of functional imaging.

Meanwhile, further studies are awaited in various field such as quality management of CT equipment, verification of protocols, expansion of clinical application, to derive the maximum benefits from the technology.
