Optimized double low-dose dual-source aortic CT with VNC, arterial and delayed phase images demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy for endoleak detection and significant radiation and iodine dose reductions in both obese and non-obese patients compared to the reference standard of triple phase, standard radiation and iodine dose aortic CT.
