Fig. 1 55year old male with hepatitis B related chronic liver disease on follow up CT scan with three sets of image datasets for analysis. a. Polychromatic routine dynamic arterial phase image to depict faintly enhancing lesion in segment IV of liver (bold arrow). b. Monochromatic image viewed at 55keV from the spectrum of images derived between 40 to 140kVp with lesion conspicuity more than previous routine image (bold arrow). c. Material decomposition image showing Iodine containing structures with rest of the components appearing suppressed, the focal lesion (bold arrow) shows iodine enhancement on the Iodine map.

Fig. 2 55year old male with hepatitis B related chronic liver disease on follow up CT scan showing axial section of the superior aspect of the liver in the arterial phase with spectral HU curve of enhancing lesion. a. Axial section of the superior aspect of liver showing ROI’s in the enhancing portion of the liver lesion labeled as (1), the surrounding liver parenchyma as (3) and within the aortic lumen as (2). b Spectral HU curve of the same lesion denoting the normalized aorta on the top of the graph (bold vertical arrow), the graph of the liver lesion in comparison to the normalized aorta (horizontal arrow without fill) and the normal liver curve (vertical arrow without fill).

Fig. 3 45year old male patient with a cirrhotic liver showing hypervascular lesions. Axial material decomposition images showing iodine density values and scatter plot of the lesions. a. Axial iodine density map of the material decomposition image dataset depicting iodine quantification done within the liver lesion using an ROI labeled (1), the surrounding liver parenchyma labeled as (2) and the Aorta as (3). b The values of the ROI’s measuring Iodine density in mg/ml of the liver lesion (horizontal arrow without fill) and the surrounding liver curve (vertical arrow without fill) has been plotted on the scatter plot with values normalized against the density in the Aorta ((bold vertical arrow).
