Dual-Energy Computed Tomography-Based Display of Bone Marrow Edema in Incidental Vertebral Compression Fractures Diagnostic Accuracy and Characterization in Oncological Patients Undergoing Routine Staging Computed Tomography

摘要

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of virtual noncalcium (VNCa) dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) reconstructions enabling visualization of bone marrow edema for characterization of incidental thoracolumbar compression fractures in routine thoracoabdominal staging computed tomography (CT).
