Materials and Methods In this single-center prospective randomized controlled trial, individuals undergoing CTA after EVAR between August 2020 and May 2022 were allocated to imaging using either low-kilovolt single-energy images (SEI; 80 kV, group A) or low-kiloelectron volt virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) at 40 and 50 keV from multi-energy CT (80/Sn150 kV, group B). Scan protocols were dose matched (volume CT dose index: mean, 4.5 mGy ± 1.8 [SD] vs 4.7 mGy ± 1.3, <i>P</i> = .41). Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) was measured. Two expert radiologists established the reference standard for the presence of endoleaks. Detection and conspicuity of endoleaks and subjective image quality were assessed by two different blinded radiologists. Interreader agreement was calculated. Nonparametric statistical tests were used. Results A total of 125 participants (mean age, 76 years ± 8; 103 men) were allocated to groups A (<i>n</i> = 64) and B (<i>n</i> = 61). CNR was significantly lower for 40-keV VMI (mean, 19.1; <i>P</i> = .048) and 50-keV VMI (mean, 16.8; <i>P</i> < .001) as compared with SEI (mean, 22.2). In total, 45 endoleaks were present (A: 23 vs B: 22). Sensitivity for endoleak detection was higher for SEI (82.6%, 19 of 23; <i>P</i> = .88) and 50-keV VMI (81.8%, 18 of 22; <i>P</i> = .90) as compared with 40-keV VMI (77.3%, 17 of 22). Specificity was comparable among groups (SEI: 92.7%, 38 of 41; both VMI energies: 92.3%, 35 of 38; <i>P</i> = .99), with an interreader agreement of 1. Conspicuity of endoleaks was comparable between SEI (median, 2.99) and VMI (both energies: median, 2.87; <i>P</i> = .04). Overall subjective image quality was rated significantly higher for SEI (median, 4 [IQR, 4-4) as compared with 40 and 50 keV (both energies: median, 4 [IQR, 3-4]; <i>P</i> < .001).
