Quantitative accuracy of virtual non-contrast images derived from spectral detector computed tomography: an abdominal phantom study

Abstract Dual-energy CT allows for the reconstruction of virtual non-contrast (VNC) images. VNC images have the potential to replace true non-contrast scans in various clinical applications. This study investigated the quantitative accuracy of VNC attenuation images considering different parameters...
