There is recent interest in the use of dual-energy computed tomography (CT) in head and neck imaging, and the results are encouraging. This article reviews dual-energy CT applications as complementary tools to conventional CT scanning in the evaluation of cervical lymphadenopathy. The article cites the most relevant studies and highlights their results. Single-source and dual-source dual-energy applications including virtual noncontrast images, linear and nonlinear image blending, monochromatic images, iodine quantification, and spectral Hounsfield unit attenuation curve analysis are reviewed. Future directions and research suggestions are discussed in brief.
