Virtual mono-energetic images and iterative image reconstruction: abdominal vessel imaging in the era of spectral detector CT

To compare the quality of virtual mono-energetic (VMI) and polychromatic images reconstructed with hybrid iterative (PCIHIR) or model-based reconstruction (PCIMBR) derived from dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography (SDCT) in arterial phase images to visualise the aorta and abdominal main branches.
