Examples of conventional images (left column), 40 KeV VME images (middle column) and 50 KeV VME images (right column). Arrows demonstrate boosted visibility of pancreatic lesions in 40 and 50 KeV VME images, showing more distinct boundaries and internal details (a–c hypovascular neuroendocrine tumor in the pancreatic head; d, e hypovascular neuroendocrine tumor in the pancreatic tail; g–i pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in the pancreatic body; j–l uncinate process pancreatic adenocarcinoma showing internal necrosis and fully encased gastroduodenal artery; m, n known metastasis from ovarian cancer with focal necrotic)
