为了测量人类肝脏中的铁浓度，其包括软组织和脂肪以及铁，使用transXend检测器应用能量分辨计算机断层扫描（CT）。transXend探测器将X射线测量为电流，并在分析后给出能量分布。能量分辨CT可以清楚地将铁溶液与丙烯酸树脂（软组织的替代品）分开，而传统的电流测量CT则不能。使用在两个不同能量范围内获得的CT值，绘制铁、脂肪和软组织的二维图。有了这个地图，可以识别肝脏中的成分。
To measure the iron concentration in the human liver, which comprises soft tissue and adipose as well as iron, energy-resolved computed tomography (CT) is applied using a transXend detector. The transXend detector measures X-rays as electric current and gives an energy distribution after analysis. Energy-resolved CT clearly separates iron solution from acrylic, a substitute for soft tissue, whereas conventional current-measurement CT cannot. Using CT values obtained in two different energy ranges, a two-dimensional map of iron, adipose and soft tissue is plotted. With this map, the components in the liver can be identified.
