Figure 5.

Constrained spectral FOV for small parts. Axial single-energy–equivalent image of the elbow obtained with a dual-source DECT scanner. Soft-tissue mineralization (arrow) associated with soft-tissue swelling (olecranon bursitis) (arrowhead) along the posterior aspect of the elbow lies outside the spectral FOV (dotted curved line). Therefore, material analysis for characterizing the mineralization as gouty deposits is not possible.
