Dual-energy CT-generated bone marrow oedema maps improve timely visualisation and recognition of acute lower extremity fractures
Clinical Radiology Jun 12, 2021
Narayanan A, Dettori N, Chalian M, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate if utilising bone marrow oedema (BMO) maps improved fracture read times and reader confidence in a large series of acute lower extremity trauma dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) studies. This cross-sectional study retrospectively examined a total of 106 DECT studies, including 60 fracture cases and 46 non-fracture cases. The results showed that with preserved reader confidence, DECT BMO maps improve the speed of radiological identification of suspected acute lower extremity fractures. As per the results, it may help emergent detection of fractures, important for patient management and outcomes.
