Spectral CT

Our Vision

Dual-Energy CT is a relatively new diagnostic imaging technology whose full clinical potential has yet to be achieved. By using customized software and Artificial Intelligence tools for image processing and analysis we have developed new methods that take full advantage of the material differentiation and quantification capabilities offered by Dual-Energy CT. These methods can be applied to both endogenous tissues and exogenous contrast agents. Overall, these methods allow us to discover new imaging biomarkers for disease detection and diagnosis with the potential to improve patient outcomes. The universality of these methods is shown by applying them to the Philips and Siemens scanners located at UT Southwestern and to GE scanners located at collaborating institutions.

Our Mission

To translate innovations in Dual-Energy CT imaging and technology to the clinic to optimize patient outcomes.

About Us

Our clinical research Program consists of a group of dedicated Radiologists and Scientists who have a common goal of maximizing the diagnostic information obtained from Dual-Energy CT scans. This new information allows us to find answers to biological questions that could not be answered with conventional CT scans.
