  • “ Reconstruction of virtual unenhanced series can be used in the assessment of renal or adrenal lesions incidentally detected by single-phase contrast-enhanced DECT while considerably reducing radiation dose compared with dual phase, single energy CT protocol with true unenhanced acquisition.”

  • “ Many similar studies support the potential of DECT in the characterization of renal lesions while also showing that up to 50% of radiation dose can be spared by the omission of true unenhanced acquisition.”

  • “ Compared with standard enhancement measurements, whole-tumor iodine quantification is more accurate in distinguishing enhancing from nonenhancing renal masses.”Distinguishing enhancing from nonenhancing renal masses with dual-source dual energy CT:iodine quantification versus standard enhancement measurements
