Assessment of thoracic disc degeneration using dual-energy CT-based collagen maps
A total of 612 intervertebral discs across 51 patients were retrospectively assessed with DECT, using MRI as a reference standard. DECT-based collagen maps allowed thoracic disc degeneration assessment achieving an overall 81% accuracy with good interrater agreement (ICC = 0.89). DECT-based collagen maps could be a good alternative in the case of contraindications to MRI.
