Dual-energy CT effectively differentiated contrast-induced encephalopathy from intracranial hemorrhage.
Initial CT scans showed high-attenuation lesions indistinguishable from intracerebral hemorrhage.
Follow-up CT demonstrated complete lesion resolution after 24 hours, supporting DECT's diagnostic advantage.
The case illustrates DECT's significant role in post-PCI management of patients with suspected CIE.
