TL;DR
VMI shows predictable energy-dependent behavior for negative-HU materials, but inter-scanner bias increases for strongly negative values and low-dose conditions, and water-reference behavior can influence stability; scanner-aware interpretation and phantom-based harmonization are warranted for quantitative evaluation in the negative HU range.
Although DE-CBCT with VMI and frequency splitting improves HU agreement with CT, slightly improves soft tissue visualization, and reduces artifacts in head and neck phantom imaging, it did not reveal any additional targets compared with routine CBCT.

68-keV monoenergetic images from dual-energy CT are often compared with conventional 120-kVp CT, but quantitative performance may depend on phantom size, reconstruction method, and dose settings. We performed a technical phantom-based comparison of 68-keV monoenergetic, routine-dose, and low-dose 120-kVp CT for calcium...

Our purpose was to establish reference performance benchmarks for spatial resolution, contrast recovery coefficient (CRC), and background variability (BV) for 68Ga and 18F under matched conditions and to determine the extent to which acquisition duration can compensate for isotope-specific resolution differences. Metho...
