Fig. 7 — Patient with small pancreatic body adenocarcinoma (white arrow) and liver metastases (white arrowheads) with examples of overview "workhorse" 100–120kVp equivalent, and high contrast series, for RSDECT, A) 70keV "workhorse", and high contrast B) 50 keV and C) iodine (water) material density image, and for DSDECT (here obtained 3months later), D) "workhorse" blended 100–120kVp polychromatic blend and high contrast E) 50keV and F) iodine material decomposition images. The near 120kVp equivalent image is used for most of the process of interpretation, with one or the other of the high contrast series utilized to facilitate identifying the primary tumor within the pancreas and its boundaries
