Our review recommends using 80/140 kVp tube voltage with 1.5 mL/kg ICA at 3-4 mL/s flow rate. Post-processing should include low keV-VMI for enhanced lesion detection, IMs for tumor iodine content evaluation, and VNC for dose reduction. However, heterogeneous literature hinders protocol standardization.
