Differentiating malignant and benign necrotic lung lesions using kVp-switching dual-energy spectral computed tomography

Abstract Background Necrotic pulmonary lesions manifest as relatively low-density internally on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). However, using CT to differentiate malignant and benign necrotic pulmonary lesions is challenging, as these lesions have similar peripheral enhancement. With th...
