Multi Energy CT Images

Extends the CT Image IOD and Enhanced CT Image IOD to support new types of images generated by Multi-energy (ME) CT scanners.

It describes various ME imaging techniques. While different vendors apply different techniques to achieve Multi-energy images, there is large commonality in the generated diagnostic images. It adapts existing attributes of the CT / Enhanced CT IOD to fit ME techniques.

Multi-energy CT acquires pixel information, which correlates to different X-Ray spectra to enable differentiation, quantification and classification of different types of tissues.
