Traumatic bone marrow edema of the calcaneus: Evaluation of color-coded virtual non-calcium dual-energy CT in a multi-reader diagnostic accuracy study

Purpose To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of dual-energy computed tomography (CT) virtual non-calcium (VNCa) reconstructions for the depiction of traumatic bone marrow edema of the calcaneus. Method Data from 62 patients (33 women, 29 men; mean age: 41 years, range: 19–84 years) with acute tarsal trauma who had undergone third-generation dual-source dual-energy CT and 3-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within seven days between January...
