Abstract
We describe a case of small bowel Crohn's disease in which dual-energy computed tomography enterography using dual-layer spectral detector scanner contributed to quantitative assessment, and provided a higher degree of confidence pertaining to the diagnosis. Dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography enables retrospective analysis including virtual monochromatic imaging, iodine mapping, and determining the effective atomic number Z with routine scan protocols. These advanced parametric dual-energy imaging holds promising potential as an imaging biomarker for diagnosis, risk-stratification, monitoring of disease progression and therapy, and outcome prediction.
