AB  - Multi-energy computed tomography (MECT) refers to acquisition of CT data at 
      multiple energy levels (typically two levels) using different technologies such 
      as dual-source, dual-layer and rapid tube voltage switching. In addition to 
      conventional/routine diagnostic images, MECT provides additional image sets 
      including iodine maps, virtual non-contrast images, and virtual monoenergetic 
      images. These image sets provide tissue/material characterization beyond what is 
      possible with conventional CT. MECT provides invaluable additional information in 
      the evaluation of pulmonary vasculature, primarily by the assessment of pulmonary 
      perfusion. This functional information provided by the MECT is complementary to 
      the morphological information from a conventional CT angiography. In this 
      article, we review the technique and applications of MECT in the evaluation of 
      pulmonary vasculature.
