Successful CT imaging of the vascular system requires contrast media injection. High vessel contrast is vital to obtain high diagnostic image quality. Besides optimized injection protocols, the energy level of the X-ray source has a high impact on the imaging results. A significant limitation of CT angiography is the limited evaluability in highly calcified plaque burden. Unfortunately, low photon energy levels further decrease the evaluability of the vessel lumen in precisely these patients because of increased blooming artifacts. Dual-energy (DE) is a promising tool to overcome this dilemma by simultaneously addressing image contrast and material decomposition. This chapter will first review the general technical considerations of Dual-Energy CT Angiography and then evaluate the respective clinical applications.
