Dual-energy radiography

Dual-energy radiography is an imaging technique that uses two different X-ray energy levels to examine the body. By capturing images at both energies, it can distinguish between different types of tissue and materials, such as bone, soft tissue, and even specific substances like calcium or iodine-based contrast agents. This improves image clarity and helps doctors identify abnormalities more accurately. It’s commonly used in medical diagnostics, including detecting lung diseases and evaluating bones, enhancing the detail and contrast compared to standard X-rays without increasing radiation exposure significantly.
