Dual energy computed tomography in Crohn's disease: a targeted review.

Dual-energy CTE is superior to conventional CTE in the evaluation of CD. Besides quantifying iodine in the pathological segments, other quantitative parameters like the mural thickness of affected bowel segments, the number of segments involved, ulcerations, comb sign, lymphadenopathy, and the mural heterogeneity can also be assessed in dual-energy CTE.
