Low keV images generated from a PVP DECT acquisition allows creation of a twin-phase pancreatic protocol CT with comparable diagnostic accuracy for detecting PDAC with significant reduction in radiation dose. Reduced radiation dose is desirable in surveillance and screening for pancreatic diseases.
