| contents | The goal of this work is to study occurrences of non-unique solutions in dual-energy CT (DECT) for objects containing water and a contrast agent. Previous studies of the Jacobian of nonlinear systems identified that a vanishing Jacobian determinant indicates the existence of multiple solutions to the system. Vanishing Jacobian determinants are identified for DECT setups by simulating intensity data for practical thickness ranges of water and contrast agent. Once existence is identified, non-unique solutions are found by simulating scan data and finding intensity contours with that intersect multiple times. With this process non-unique solutions are found for DECT setups scanning iodine and gadolinium, including setups using tube potentials in practical ranges. Non-unique solutions demonstrate a large range of differences and can result in significant discrepancies between recovered and true material mapping. |
