Feasibility of single-phase DECT as an alternative to triple-phase CT for imaging-defined risk factors assessment in neuroblastoma for dose reduction

Key Points

• Single-phase DECT effectively identifies risk factors in neuroblastoma imaging, enhancing safety.
• Evaluation shows that DECT can reduce radiation doses by an estimated 30%, promoting safer imaging practices.
• Assessment involves comparing single-phase DECT to traditional triple-phase CT for imaging outcomes.
• Highlights the potential for DECT to lower radiation exposure, indicating a shift in neuroblastoma imaging protocols.
