Evaluation of virtual non-contrast detector-based spectral CT images in comparison to true unenhanced images in 20 rabbits
VNC images present a promising alternative to TUE images for abdominal organs without pathology in rabbits with the benefit of eliminating motion between the compared series and reducing examination time and radiation exposure by replacing pre-contrast scans. Further research is necessary to demonstrate the applicability of the technique to morphologically diseased organs.
