The purpose of this study was to compare the quality of low-energy virtual
monoenergetic images (VMIs) obtained with three Dual-Energy CT (DECT) platforms
according to the phantom diameter. Three sections of the Mercury Phantom 4.0
were scanned on two generations of split-filter CTs (SFCT-1st and SFCT-2nd) and
on one Dual-source CT (DSCT). The nois...

Background Recently, a second generation of split filter dual‐energy CT (SFCT)
platform has been developed. The thicknesses of the gold and tin filters used to
obtain both low‐ and high‐energy spectra have been changed. These differences in
filter thickness may affect the spectral separation between the two spectra and
thus the quality of spectral...
