Virtual monoenergetic images preserve diagnostic assessability in contrast media reduced abdominal spectral detector CT.

CONCLUSIONS: VMI40keV counteract contrast deterioration in contrast media reducedabdominal SDCT, facilitating diagnostic assessment.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: SDCT-derived VMI40keV provide adequate depiction of vessels, organs and lymph nodes even at notable contrast media reduction.
