Distinguishing benign from malignant liver lesions with non-contrast-enhanced CT would be desirable. This model, incorporating slope K, effective Z, and blood quantification, distinguished benign from malignant liver lesions. Non-contrast-enhanced DECT has benefits, particularly in patients with an iodine allergy, renal failure, or asthma.
