Abstract: Objectives: To assess image quality and liver metastasis detection of reduced-dose dual-energy CT (DECT) with deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) compared to standard-dose single-energy CT (SECT) with DLIR or iterative reconstruction (IR). Methods: In this prospective study, two groups of 40 participants each underwent abdominal contrast-enhanced scans with full-dose SECT (120-kVp images, DLIR and IR algorithms) or reduced-dose DECT (40- to 60-keV virtual monochromatic images [VMIs], DLIR algorithm), with 122 and 106 metastases, respectively. Groups were matched by age, sex ratio, body mass index, and cross-sectional area. Noise power spectrum of liver images and task-based transfer function of metastases were calculated to assess the noise texture and low-contrast resolution. The image noise, signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) of liver and portal vein, liver-to-lesion contrast-to-noise ratio (LLR), lesion conspicuity, lesion detection rate, and the subjective image quality metrics were compared between groups on 1.25-mm reconstructed images. Results: Compared to 120-kVp images with IR, 40- and 50-keV VMIs with DLIR showed similar noise texture and LLR, similar or higher image noise and low-contrast resolution, improved SNR and lesion conspicuity, and similar or better perceptual image quality. When compared to 120-kVp images with DLIR, 50-keV VMIs with DLIR had similar low-contrast resolution, SNR, LLR, lesion conspicuity, and perceptual image quality but lower frequency noise texture and higher image noise. For the detection of hepatic metastases, reduced-dose DECT by 34% maintained observer lesion detection rates. Conclusion: DECT assisted with DLIR enables a 34% dose reduction for detecting hepatic metastases while maintaining comparable perceptual image quality to full-dose SECT. Clinical relevance statement: Reduced-dose dual-energy CT with deep learning image reconstruction is as accurate as standard-dose single-energy CT for the detection of liver metastases and saves more than 30% of the radiation dose. Key Points: • The 40- and 50-keV virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) with deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) improved lesion conspicuity compared with 120-kVp images with iterative reconstruction while providing similar or better perceptual image quality. • The 50-keV VMIs with DLIR provided comparable perceptual image quality and lesion conspicuity to 120-kVp images with DLIR. • The reduction of radiation by 34% by DLIR in low-keV VMIs is clinically sufficient for detecting low-contrast hepatic metastases.
