- “ The datasets obtained with DECT can be used to reconstruct virtual unenhanced images as well as iodinated contrast material enhanced density images, obviating the standard two phase (unenhanced and contrast enhance) scanning protocol and thus helping to minimize the radiation dose received by the patient.”
