Purpose. To develop a dual energy imaging method to improve the accuracy of electron density measurement with a cone-beam CT (CBCT) device.Materials and Methods. The imaging system is the XVI CBCT system on Elekta Synergy linac. Projection data were acquired with the high and low energy X-ray, respectively, to set up a basis material decomposition model. Virtual phantom simulation and phantoms experiments were carried out for quantitative evaluation of the method. Phantoms were also scanned twice with the high and low energy X-ray, respectively. The data were decomposed into projections of the two basis material coefficients according to the model set up earlier. The two sets of decomposed projections were used to reconstruct CBCT images of the basis material coefficients. Then, the images of electron densities were calculated with these CBCT images.Results. The difference between the calculated and theoretical values was within 2% and the correlation coefficient of them was about 1.0. The dual energy imaging method obtained more accurate electron density values and reduced the beam hardening artifacts obviously.Conclusion. A novel dual energy CBCT imaging method to calculate the electron densities was developed. It can acquire more accurate values and provide a platform potentially for dose calculation.

Abstract Background: The prevalence of knee injury is high and early diagnosis is significant to guide clinical treatment. MRI is recognized as the gold standard for detecting bone marrow edema (BME) in patients with acute knee injury, but limitations still exist. Dual-energy CT (DECT) is investigated as a promising alternative.Methods: We systematically retrieved studies from EMBASE, Scopus, PUBMED, and the Cochrane Library and collected gray literatures. According to PRISMA-DTA guidelines, a systematic review was performed from inception to July 31, 2021, assessing the diagnostic accuracy of DECT for detecting BME in at least 10 adult patients with acute knee injuries and with an MRI reference standard. Study details were independently extracted by two reviewers. Meta-analysis was performed using a bivariate mixed-effects regression model with subgroup analysis performed to evaluate for sources of variability. Results: Nine studies evaluating 290 patients between the ages of 23–53 with acute knee injuries undergoing DECT and MRI were included in analysis. Summary sensitivity, specificity, and AUC values for BME were 85% (95% confidence interval (CI) 77–90%), 96% (95% CI 93–97%), and 0.97 (95% CI 0.95–0.98), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in specificity and sensitivity amongst comparative subgroups to account for presumed variability amongst studies.Conclusion: DECT is accurate for detecting BME in patients with acute knee injuries and can be used as an alternative to MRI, particularly when MRI is contraindicated or unavailable.
