- The introduction of modern dual-energy CT (DECT) scanners has enabled contrast material to be distinguished at imaging without the need for a separate unenhanced scan. Images of pulmonary parenchymal contrast enhancement obtained using DECT improve the detection of defects, augmenting our ability to detect pulmonary emboli; however, with these advances new pitfalls are also introduced. In this pictorial review, we present the technique, clinical applications and causes and remedies of false results of dual-energy pulmonary parenchymal enhancement defects in pulmonary embolism.
