: In a previous study from our group, DECT-derived virtual unenhanced images have been investigated in the same patient cohort (Lennartz S, Pisuchpen N, Parakh A, et al Virtual unenhanced images: qualitative and quantitative comparison between different dual-energy CT scanners in a patient and phantom study. Invest Radiol. 2022;57(1):52–61. ExternalRef removed).In another study focusing on phantom-based correction methods for increasing inter-scanner consistency of iodine at low levels, data from 30 patients examined in this study were used as a validation cohort.
