syngo Dual Energy Hardplaque Display

Enables the identification and automatic removal of calcifications from a CTA image. By therefore differentiating between hard plaques and contrast agent this Dual Energy application helps to display of true vessel lumen without interfering hard plaques.

syngo Dual Energy Hardplaque Display requires syngo® Dual Energy available on SOMATOM Definition/Definition Flash. With the application syngo® Dual Energy, it is possible to obtain additional information about the chemical composition of body materials. During a Dual Energy scan, two CT datasets are taken simultaneously with kV levels of 80 kV/140 kV or ¹100 kV/140 kV, allowing to visualize differences in the energy dependence of the attenuation coefficients of different materials. These images will be combined and analyzed to visualize information about anatomical and pathological structures.
