Virtual noncontrast images of adrenal lesions: a photon-counting CT prospective study
This study investigated the value of VNC images from PCCT in adrenal lesions. VNC reconstruction overestimated the CT attenuation of adrenal lesions. Higher thresholds on VNC images were superior to the accepted 10 HU for differentiating adenomas from non-adenomas.
