Adenocarcinoma of the lung is the most common type of lung cancer and is classified as one of the non-small cell lung cancers. It typically arises in the peripheral regions of the lungs, affecting the dense glandular tissues. Most patients diagnosed with pulmonary adenocarcinoma are current or former smokers and present with nonspecific respiratory symptoms such as a persistent cough and shortness of breath.

Renal cysts are common, typically asymptomatic, fluid-filled sacs that rarely require intervention. Nevertheless, in rare cases, large symptomatic cysts can cause significant morbidity. We report the case of an 87-year-old man presenting to the emergency department with right chest wall pain following a ground-level fall, accompanied by worsening nausea, vomiting, and decreased oral intake over 6-7 months.

Purpose: The combination of multi-layer flat panel detector (FPDT) X-ray imaging and physics-based material decomposition algorithms allows for the removal of anatomical structures. However, the reliability of these algorithms may be compromised by unaccounted materials or scattered radiation.
Approach: We investigated the two-material decomposition performance of a multi-layer FPDT in the context of 2D chest radiography without and with a 13:1 anti-scatter grid employed.
