Description
Yu Mao and co-authors tested in 2026 dual-layer detector spectral CT for telling benign lesions from carcinomas of the larynx and hypopharynx. This split shapes individual treatment plans. Standard CT has low soft-tissue detail, curbing accuracy for these lesions and muddying surgery planning.
One hundred forty-one patients were read in look-back. Spectral traits from arterial and venous phases plus max lesion diameter were taken. Benign and malignant groups were weighed to find best discriminators. Spectral CT quantifies tissue build past standard density, showing gaps invisible on standard scans. The best traits give radiologists a more trustworthy pre-surgery tool for throat cancers where biopsy is hard or risky.
