Potential of spectral imaging generated by contrast-enhanced dual-energy CT for lung cancer histopathological classification – A preliminary study
•The role of electron density and effective Z-images obtained using dual-energy CT in lung cancer classification remains unclear.•Electron density and virtual non-contrast images correlated better with the ratio of lepidic growth patterns in lung cancer.•Electron density imaging is a better indicator of the histopathological classification of lung cancer than effective Z-imaging.
