Evaluation of the liver with virtual non-contrast: Single institution study in 149 patients undergoing TAVR planning.

CONCLUSIONS: VNC performed well in a large cohort of TAVR-examinations yielding equivalent mean attenuations to TNC; however, application of this technique might be limited when no or very little contrast media is present in parenchyma, more precisely in an early arterial-phase of the liver. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This study showed that VNC can be reliably applied in cardiac protocols when certain limitation are considered. PMID: 31825655 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
