Feasibility of single-phase DECT as an alternative to triple-phase CT for imaging-defined risk factors assessment in neuroblastoma for dose reduction
Single venous-phase 40 keV-DECT images demonstrate feasibility for evaluating IDRFs in pediatric NB patients, saving about 60 % radiation dose and optimizing the examination workflow compared to the conventional triple-phase approach.
