Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for dual energy imaging. In one embodiment, a method for a dual energy imaging system comprises determining a first tube potential and a second tube potential according to a size of a subject, and controlling the dual energy imaging system with the first tube potential and the second tube potential to generate lower energy x-rays and higher energy x-rays respectively to image the subject. In this way, image quality may be increased while minimizing dose during dual energy imaging of a particular imaging subject.
