Dual-energy images improved line and tube visibility in 14 cases, as observed by 8 out of 9 reviewers (p<.001). Figure 1 demonstrates an example of increased catheter visibility. Notably, in 16 out of 28 cases (57%), the reviewers reported an increased overall diagnostic confidence when dual-energy X-ray images where available for interpretation. No motion artefacts were noted in the acquired images. The median total reading time for conventional radiographs and dual-energy images showed no significant difference (median, 29:07 vs 29:52 minutes, p=0.32).
