Dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography-derived virtual non-contrast images in breast cancer patients: a promising alternative to true non-contrast images
The image quality of VNC was significantly higher than that of TNC. The reconstruction for VNC based on arterial or venous phases did not affect the images. Therefore, VNC images may have the potential to replace TNC images in breast cancer.
