Increased quantitative and qualitative border conspicuity (high delta) is associated with shorter survival in patients with PDAC. Agreement on the subjective qualitative characterization of PDAC borders is best achieved using iodine MD and lower-energy simulated monoenergetic images at pancreatic protocol dual-energy CT.Keywords: Abdomen/GI, CT, CT-Dual Energy, CT-Quantitative, PancreasSupplemental material is available for this article.© RSNA, 2020.
