Objective:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the role and limit of iodine maps by dual-energy computed tomography (CT) single scan for pancreatic cancer.
Methods:
Thirty patients with suspected solitary pancreatic cancer were enrolled in this study and underwent CT perfusion and iodine maps. The parameters of pancreatic cancer and normal pancreatic tissue were calculated. Pearson correlation and paired t test were used for evaluating 2 techniques.
Results:
Iodine concentration had a moderate positive correlation with blood flow or blood volume (P < 0.05 for both). All values of iodine concentration and blood flow, iodine concentration, and blood volume had significant positive correlations (P < 0.001 for both). The mean effective dose for CT perfusion and iodine maps had significant difference (8.61 ± 0.00 mSv vs 1.13 ± 0.14 mSv, P < 0.001).
Conclusions:
Iodine maps had the potential to replace routine CT perfusion for pancreatic cancer with low radiation dose.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
