The blood of patients with anemia demonstrates distinctly lower attenuation in unenhanced CT images. However, the frequent usage of intravenous contrast hampers evaluation of anemia. Spectral detector computed tomography (SDCT) allows for reconstruction of virtual non-contrast images (VNC) from contrast-enhanced data (CE). The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether VNC allow for prediction of anemia. Five hundred twenty-two patients with CE-SDCT of the chest and accessible serum hemoglobin (HbS) were retrospectively include
