Assessing Chemotherapeutic Response in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: Histogram Analysis of Iodine Concentration and CT Number in Single-Source Dual-Energy CT

摘要

OBJECTIVE. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of histographic analysis of iodine concentration (IC) and CT number on single-source dual-energy CT (DECT) to assess response to first-line chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who received first-line chemotherapy but not radiation therapy.
