    AbstractOBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to outline the utility of iodine density maps for evaluating cardiothoracic disease and abnormalities. Multiple studies have shown that the variety of images generated from dual-energy spectral detector CT (SDCT) improve identification of cardiothoracic conditions. CONCLUSION. Understanding the technique of SDCT and being familiar with the features of different cardiothoracic conditions on iodine density map images help the radiologist make a better diagnosis.
