A Simplex algorithm approach to determine the optimal keV and window setting for appendicitis visualization

Contrast-enhanced dual energy CT, with low-mono-energetic CT scanning (conventional 70 keV and low-mono energetic 40 keV) can improve visualization of acute inflammatory processes, but the high iodine attenuation often requires adjustment of window display settings to optimize interpretation. Here, we aim to determine optimal keV and window settings for the visualization of acute appendicitis from images derived from low-mono-energetic-CT.
