True Non-Contrast Phase versus Virtual-Non Contrast: “Lights and Shadows” of Dual Energy CT Angiography in Peripheral Arterial Disease

Applied Sciences, 2023
(1) Background: The value of dual-energy CT angiography (DE-CTA) in the detection of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has been widely recognized. We aim to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of virtual non-contrast (VNC) imaging of DE-CTA compared to true

Improving image quality and diagnostic confidence for PRETEXT staging in pediatric hepatoblastoma using thin-slice and low-energy virtual monochromatic images in dual-energy CT with deep learning image reconstruction algorithm [PDF]

BMC Medical Imaging
Background Hepatoblastoma is the most common pediatric hepatic tumor, for which surgery is the primary treatment option. The PRETEXT (Pretreatment Extent of Disease) staging system, based on CT images, is a crucial basis for surgical planning. Therefore,

Comparison of Image Quality and Radiation Dose Between Single-Energy and Dual-Energy Images for the Brain With Stereotactic Frames on Dual-Energy Cerebral CT

Frontiers in Radiology, 2022
BackgroundPreoperative stereotactic planning of deep brain stimulation (DBS) using computed tomography (CT) imaging in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) is of clinical interest. However, frame-induced metal artifacts are common in clinical practice,

Comparison of True and Virtual Non-Contrast Images of Liver Obtained with Single- Source Twin Beam and Dual-Source Dual-Energy CT

Journal of the Korean Society of Radiology, 2023
Purpose To assess the magnitude of differences between attenuation values of the true non-contrast image (TNC) and virtual non-contrast image (VNC) derived from twin-beam dual-energy CT (tbDECT) and dual-source DECT (dsDECT).

Improved Diagnostic Accuracy of Bone Metastasis Detection by Water-HAP Associated to Non-Contrast CT

Diagnostics, 2020
We examined whether water-hydroxyapatite (HAP) images improve the diagnostic accuracy of bone metastasis compared with non-contrast CT alone. We retrospectively evaluated dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) images of 83 cancer patients (bone ...

Effectiveness of Virtual Non-Enhanced Images Acquired by Dual-Energy Computed Tomography in Evaluation of Patients with Suspected Acute Appendicitis

대한영상의학회지, 2016
Purpose To determine whether virtual non-enhanced (VNE) images derived from dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) can replace true non-enhanced (TNE) images in patients with suspected acute appendicitis.

Image Quality and Lesion Detectability with Low-Monoenergetic Imaging: A Study of Low-Concentration Iodine Contrast in Hepatic Multiphase CT for Chronic Liver Disease

Tomography
Background: This study aimed to evaluate whether low-concentration iodine contrast-enhanced multiphase low-monoenergetic computed tomography (LCLM CT; 270 mg I/mL, 40 keV) is non-inferior to standard-dose computed tomography (SDCT; 350 mg I/mL) in image ...
