• Dual-layer dual-energy CT enables virtual non-contrast imaging from a contrast-enhanced acquisition. • Virtual non-contrast imaging with dual-layer dual-energy CT reduces the number of acquisitions and radiation exposure in acute aortic syndrome imaging protocol. • Dual-layer dual-energy CT has the potential to become a suitable imaging tool for acute aortic syndrome.
