Generation of deep learning based virtual non-contrast CT using dual-layer dual-energy CT and its application to planning CT for radiotherapy. by Jungye Kim, Jimin Lee, Bitbyeol Kim, Sangwook Kim, Hyeongmin Jin, Seongmoon Jung

“…This paper presents a novel approach for generating virtual non-contrast planning computed tomography (VNC-pCT) images from contrast-enhanced planning CT (CE-pCT) scans using a deep learning model. Unlike previous studies, which often lacked sufficient data pairs of contrast-enhanced and non-contrast CT images, we trained our model on dual-energy CT (DECT) images, using virtual non-contrast CT (VNC CT) images as outputs instead of true non-contrast CT images. …”
