The clinical application of radiology is based on reliable and verifiable technology. At the beginning of the invention of CT, it has been found that the linear attenuation coefficient of tissue depends on the chemical position of tissue (effective atomic number, Z eff), mass density (q) and effective energy of X-ray. Due to the technical limitations at that time, the clinical popularization and application of energy spectrum has not been carried out. Ten years ago, Companies began to set foot in dual energy CT (dual energy CT) application. So far, various companies have developed different modes of dual energy applications. Due to technical limitations, although clinical applications are extensive, the actual results are very different. Different dual energy scans are used on different devices for the same disease, and inconsistent results are obtained. Therefore, domestic and international experts have made many discussions on dual energy CT scans, It is found that the dual energy scanning of each company has its own advantages and disadvantages, such as the lack of space-time matching degree or the lack of energy separation accuracy, so that the advanced clinical application of dual energy CT is not recognized, and the application of energy spectrum CT needs to be further improved.
Based on the unique technology and accurate energy separation, open imaging energy spectrum CT has made a great breakthrough in clinical application. For example, the article "Application of precision128 energy spectrum CT in clinical trial on the differential diagnosis of renal clear cell carcinoma and fatty renal hamartoma" published by the radiology department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Qiqihar Medical College, by measuring the iodine content in the focus Calculate the standardized iodine concentration, draw the energy spectrum attenuation curve, get the K value, calculate the area under the curve and each k value for the differential diagnosis of renal clear cell carcinoma and fatty renal hamartoma. The accuracy of energy spectrum attenuation curve and K value in this paper is closely related to the initial energy spectrum distribution of X-ray.
