Key Points

The aim is to determine if dual-energy CT can reduce radiation dose and contrast medium volume in children and young adults.
Utilized dual-energy CT for imaging chest and abdomen-pelvis in children and young adults.
Compared results with standard single-energy CT, matched by weight and region.
Achieved significant reductions in radiation dose when using dual-energy CT.
Notable decreases in contrast medium volume were also observed compared to single-energy CT.

Abstract

In children and young adults, chest and abdomen-pelvis DS-DECT enables substantial radiation dose and contrast volume reductions compared with weight- and region-matched SECT.
