Virtual non-calcium imaging to detect bone marrow edema in patients with arthritis: a feasibility study with MRI as standard of reference
VNCa imaging showed excellent specificity, albeit only moderate sensitivity for detecting BME in patients with suspected hand arthritis. These results underscore the clinical utility of DECT for arthritis imaging, adding to known strengths such as sensitivity for structural damage and ease of acquisition.
