Rapid kVp-switching DECT provides diagnostically acceptable monoenergetic images for patients with large body habitus (≥ 90 kg). There is degradation of IQ in the material density specific images particularly in patients weighing > 110 kg and with BMI > 33.5 kg/m2, due to higher number of artifacts.
