ASPECTS estimation using dual-energy CTA-derived virtual non-contrast in large vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke: a dose reduction opportunity for patients undergoing repeat CT?

ConclusionDECTA-derived VNC yielded similar ASPECTS scores as NCCT and is therefore non-inferior in early ischemia-related low attenuation edema/infarct detection in acute LVO-AIS patients. Further evaluation of the role of DECTA-VNC in AIS imaging is warranted.
