Cancer imaging using MARS spectral CT: New methods for detection

Cancer imaging using MARS spectral CT: New methods of detection. MARS scanners generate multi-energy images with high spatial resolution and low noise. MARS imaging simultaneously identifies and quantifies various components of soft tissues, bones, cartilage, as well as exogenously administered contrasts agents, nanoparticles, and pharmaceuticals in a single scan. This ability to detect contrast agents and intrinsic markers simultaneously has enabled research into new methods of cancer and tumour detection.
