Bone marrow edema in traumatic vertebral compression fractures: Diagnostic accuracy of dual-layer detector CT using calcium suppressed images

To evaluate calcium suppressed images (CaSupp) in dual-layer detector computed tomography (DLCT) for the detection of bone marrow edema (BME) in vertebral fractures.The retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board. 34 patients with synchronous DLCT and MRI, who were diagnosed with one or more acute vertebral fractures, were included.
