- “ 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.”

AJR 2012; 199;S64-S70 - “ 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.”
