The aim of this book is fourfold: to describe the basic principles of Dual Energy CT (DECT) imaging, to explain how post-processing is utilized, to critically appraise the strengths and weaknesses of the technique in oncologic imaging, and above all, to demonstrate the contribution of DECT in the management of oncologic patients. Information is provided on the practice and interpretation of DECT and its impact on clinical decision making in a variety of oncological settings, including tumors of the head and neck, lung, liver, pancreas, gastrointestinal system, kidney, and musculoskeletal system.
DECT is an innovative imaging technique in which the application of two distinct energy settings provides a transition from density-based image to spectral imaging.
As detailed in this book, DECT acquisition allows the simultaneous generation of multiple datasets which enable the radiologist to address varied diagnostic problems in oncologic imaging using a multiparametric approach, having clear advantages in tumor detection, lesion characterization and evaluation of treatment response.

Questo volume si articola in quattro sezioni, che spaziano dai concetti fondamentali di epidemiologia ed etiopatogenesi del cancro colo-rettale sino alla trattazione della tecnica di esame (pulizia intestinale, preparazione del paziente e altri aspetti pratici, protocolli di studio e considerazioni dosimetriche, complicanze, analisi delle immagini: 2D vs 3D, software di visualizzazione, sistemi di diagnosi assistita, refertazione) e all''analisi critica della letteratura, con particolare riguardo alle indicazioni cliniche condivise dalla comunità scientifica internazionale. E'' inclusa, inoltre, un''ampia casistica ragionata (anatomia, tumori, polipi, casi complessi). Il testo intende fornire al radiologo, specializzato nello studio del colon, un aggiornamento completo su questa innovativa tecnica che può oggi validamente competere con la colonscopia ottica anche in ambito di screening del cancro colo-rettale.

L’angiografia con TC spirale multistrato è oggi una metodica fondamentale nella diagnostica vascolare non invasiva in pressoché tutti i distretti anatomici. La facilità e, soprattutto, la rapidità di esecuzione la rendono anche essenziale nei casi di urgenza ed emergenza. La qualità diagnostica dell’esame, e la conseguente accuratezza della diagnosi, sono il risultato di un’ottimizzazione della tecnica di studio e, in particolare, del protocollo di iniezione endovenosa del mezzo di contrasto iodato.
Mediante la presentazione di casi esplicativi riguardanti i differenti distretti vascolari, il volume intende fornire al Radiologo generale e allo Specializzando una guida ai principali protocolli di studio da mettere in atto al fine di ottimizzare la qualità dell’esame e, conseguentemente, facilitare il processo diagnostico.

L''avvento delle apparecchiature TC spirale multistrato, e in particolare di quelle a 64 strati e oltre, ha rivoluzionato l''approccio diagnostico allo studio del torace, sia per quanto riguarda la patologia polmonare, delle vie aeree e del mediastino, sia per lo studio del cuore e dei grossi vasi. Per ottenere una diagnosi accurata è, però, necessario un addestramento specifico e una profonda conoscenza dei protocolli di studio, spesso da adattare in relazione alla particolare situazione clinica del Paziente, e tenendo sempre in considerazione la dose di radiazioni somministrata. Il presente volume è stato pensato proprio tenendo conto di questa complessità, con il duplice scopo di fornire al Radiologo e al giovane Specializzando una serie di brevi nozioni teoriche, necessarie per impostare correttamente il protocollo di studio, e una casistica clinica riportante le principali patologie che più di frequente possono essere incontrate nella pratica quotidiana.

Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) has become a fundamental imaging technique for the study of many anatomical districts in different clinical situations, as it provides a fast, reliable, and accurate simultaneous evaluation of different organs, including parenchyma, hollow viscera, vessels, and bony structures. It has also equipped the radiologist with the ability to explore areas that in the last decade were largely ignored by CT, especially the coronary arteries and the colon, and to limit invasive diagnostic tests (e.g., catheter angiography) to those cases in which interventional procedures are required.
The examination quality and the consequent diagnostic accuracy of MDCT are the results of an optimized study technique, which nonetheless needs to be adapted to the particular clinical situation of the patient, while bearing in mind the radiation exposure. Another fundamental parameter in the optimization of MDCT is the protocol for the intravenous injection of iodinated contrast material; in these studies, multiple variables, some modifiable by the operator and others patient-dependent, must be considered based on the aims of maximizing arterial and venous enhancements whilst minimizing the dose of iodine injected, saving money, and increasing patient safety.
Through the presentation of cases addressing different anatomical regions and various clinical indications, including emergency and neuro-imaging, this volume seeks to provide the general radiologist and trainee specialist with a guide to the main study protocols to be implemented in order to optimize examination quality and, consequently, facilitate the diagnostic process.
