Dual-energy CT for liver iron quantification in patients with haematological disorders

European Radiology May 17, 2019

Werner S, et al. - In hematological patients suspected of transfusional hemosiderosis using dual-energy CT (DECT), researchers retrospectively measured liver iron content and assessed how serum ferritin levels and estimated quantity of transfused iron were related. The study included 147 consecutive dual-source dual-energy non-contrast chest-CTs to rule out pulmonary infection in 110 hematological patients. Serum ferritin levels and estimated amounts of transfused iron is strongly correlated with the virtual iron content of the liver estimated through the dual-energy chest-CT examination protocol. Complimentary assessment of transfusional hemosiderosis can be done by using the same in routine diagnosis.
