Amiodarone accumulates in the liver, where it increases x-ray attenuation due to its iodine content. We evaluated liver attenuation in patients treated and not treated with amiodarone using true-non-contrast (TNC) and virtual-non-contrast (VNC) images acquired with spectral-detector-CT (SDCT). 142 patients, of which 21 have been treated with amiodarone, receiving SDCT-examinations (unenhanced-chest CT [TNC], CT-angiography of chest and abdomen [CTA-Chest, CTA-Abdomen]) were included. TNC, CTA-Chest, CTA-Abdomen, and corresponding VNC-images (VNC-Chest, VNC-Abdomen) were reconstructed. Liver-attenuation-index (LAI) was calculated as difference between liver- and spleen-attenuation. Liver-attenuation and LAI derived from TNC-images of patients receiving amiodarone were higher. Contrary to TNC, liver-attenuation and LAI were not higher in amiodarone patients in VNC-Chest and in VNC-Abdomen. To verify these initial results, a phantom scan was performed and an additional patient cohort included, both confirming that VNC is viable of accurately subtracting iodine of hepatic amiodarone-deposits. This might help to monitor liver-attenuation more accurately and thereby detect liver steatosis as a sign of liver damage earlier as well as to verify amiodarone accumulation in the liver.
