CT-based synthetic contrast-enhanced dual-energy CT generation using conditional denoising diffusion probabilistic model

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The study aimed to generate synthetic contrast-enhanced Dual-energy CT (CE-DECT) images from non-contrast single-energy CT (SECT) scans, addressing the limitations posed by the scarcity of DECT scanners and the health risks associated with iodinated contrast agents, particularly for high-risk patients.
